# Shortcuts Block

## Shortcut Block

The Shortcuts Block organizes a collection of one or more tiles to represent links. This block is useful for creating quick navigation shortcuts to important pages, sections, or external resources, enhancing user navigation.

## Adding Links

Select the Add Shortcut button to open the Add Link modal, where you will be prompted to select a page or pattern from within your documentation to link to.

If you'd like to link to an external page, you can select the Enter a URL tab and follow the instructions there.

## Tile Customization

By default the tile will only render the name of the added link. We can customize the tile to render an image and/or a description to provide the user with additional context.
