Create shortcuts/bookmarks to SharePoint sites


You can create shortcuts/bookmarks to access your sites quickly.

Note: due to high chances of OneDrive sync disruption, the built-in shortcut option in SharePoint and OneDrive was disabled.

In the Browser

  1. Add the site to your browser's bookmarks list. Open a browser, go to the site, and select the star to the right of the URL.
  2. Create a shortcut that will be accessible via your desktop. Open Chrome, select the three dots (top right corner) > More tools > Create Shortcut. Add a name for the shortcut > Create. The shortcut will appear on your desktop. This should work on managed desktops.

In SharePoint and OneDrive

Follow a site in SharePoint Online's dashboard. Watch this video or follow the steps below.

  1. On your site’s home page, select the star (top right corner).​ The text will change to Following. When you visit the SharePoint dashboard, you should see your followed sites. To access your frequently used sites, select the globe icon (left-hand side).
  2. In your personal OneDrive, select +New > Link. Enter the site URL in the Create link to field. Enter a File name > Create.
