# Pin elements to the sidebar menu
Add element types (Hotspots, Badges, Buttons, and others) as direct shortcuts under Elements in the LinkSpot sidebar, so you can jump straight to a specific element type.
By default, the LinkSpot sidebar in the Shopify admin shows: **LinkSpot** (home), **Elements**, **Settings**, **Pricing**, and **Contact us**. Clicking **Elements** opens the landing page where you pick which element type to work on.
If you find yourself going to the same element type often (always Badges, always Hotspots), you can pin it as a shortcut under **Elements** in the sidebar so you can jump straight to it.
## Configure the shortcuts
1. In the LinkSpot admin, open **Settings > General**.
2. Scroll to the **App settings** card.
3. Find the **Menu shortcuts** field.
4. Click into the field and pick the elements you want as shortcuts (Annotations, Badges, Buttons, Captions, Collages, Hotspots, Product sets).
5. The selected elements appear as tags below the field. You can remove a tag to drop a shortcut.
There is no Save button on this field; your changes apply immediately. The Shopify admin sidebar refreshes to reflect the new shortcuts.
## What the result looks like
The chosen element types appear as indented links right under the **Elements** item in the sidebar, each prefixed with a small dot. For example, with Badges and Hotspots pinned, the sidebar shows:
```
LinkSpot
Elements
· Badges
· Hotspots
Settings
Pricing
Contact us
```
Clicking a shortcut takes you straight to that element type's listing page.
You can also quick pin the element you want, clicking on the Star icon in the cards inside Elements page.
## Tips
- Pin only the element types you use most often. A long list of shortcuts adds noise to the sidebar.
- Shortcuts always appear in alphabetical order, regardless of the order you pick them in.
- This is a LinkSpot feature, separate from Shopify's own "pin app" feature. You can also pin the LinkSpot app to your main Shopify admin sidebar from the apps list. Both work together: pinning LinkSpot puts it in the main sidebar; configuring menu shortcuts adds element-type shortcuts inside the LinkSpot menu.
