# Developing Home Screen Shortcuts
## Overview
Home screen shortcuts enable you to rapidly access the core functions of apps, thereby enhancing operation efficiency and increasing users' dependency on apps.

For example, you can create a navigation shortcut for frequently visited places such as your home and company. Tap to launch the map app and start navigation.

## How to Use
Long pressing the app icon will display the shortcut list. Tap the icon to quickly open the desired page in the app.
## How to Implement
* Configure the **shortcuts_config.json** file in **/resources/base/profile/**.

* In the **abilities** tag of the **module.json5** file, configure the **metadata** tag for the UIAbility component to which a shortcut needs to be added so that the shortcut configuration file takes effect for the UIAbility.
