3. View the Changes: The shortcuts will now appear in the Shortcuts Bar with the new alias names.

   

Removing a Shortcut

If you need to declutter your Shortcuts bar:

1. Access Shortcut Settings: Click + Add in the Shortcuts bar.

   

2. Deselect Unwanted Shortcuts: In Add or remove a favorite folder, uncheck the folders you no longer need quick access to, and click Save changes.

   

3. The deselected shortcuts are removed from the shortcuts bar.

   

Using Shortcuts Efficiently

You can use the shortcuts feature effectively to maximize your productivity:

1. Quick Access: Click on a shortcut in the Shortcuts Bar to navigate directly to the frequently used vault or folder, eliminating extra navigation steps. 
2. Organize with Aliases: Customize shortcuts with intuitive aliases that clearly indicate a folder's contents or purpose. This reduces confusion and speeds up document access.
3. Periodic Updates: Regularly review and update your shortcuts to match your changing workflow. Remove outdated shortcuts and add new ones that align with your current priorities.

These practices ensure that your shortcuts remain relevant and help you navigate your SmartVault account with ease.
