The sidebar contains your content's navigation menu, but you can also add extra menu entries or shortcuts in a separate section.

For internal links, use the `pageRef` property instead of `url`. Learn more about [Hugo's menu configuration](https://gohugo.io/content-management/menus/#define-in-site-configuration).

## Title

{{% badge style="cyan" icon="gears" title=" " %}}Option{{% /badge %}} By default, the shortcut menu has a title ("_More_" in English).

You can disable this title with `disableShortcutsTitle=true`.

{{< multiconfig file=hugo >}}
[params]
  disableShortcutsTitle = true
{{< /multiconfig >}}

To change the title, update your local i18n translation file.

````toml {title="i18n/en.toml"}
[Shortcuts-Title]
other = "Other Great Stuff"
````

## Single Language Example

Edit `hugo.toml` and add `[[menu.shortcuts]]` entries for each link:

{{< multiconfig file=hugo >}}
[[menu.shortcuts]]
  name = "<i class='fa-fw fab fa-github'></i> GitHub repo"
  identifier = "ds"
  url = "https://github.com/McShelby/hugo-theme-relearn"
  weight = 10

[[menu.shortcuts]]
  name = "<i class='fa-fw fas fa-camera'></i> Showcases"
  pageRef = "/showcase"
  weight = 11

[[menu.shortcuts]]
  name = "<i class='fa-fw fas fa-bookmark'></i> Hugo Documentation"
  identifier = "hugodoc"
  url = "https://gohugo.io/"
  weight = 20

[[menu.shortcuts]]
  name = "<i class='fa-fw fas fa-bullhorn'></i> Credits"
  pageRef = "/more/credits"
  weight = 30

[[menu.shortcuts]]
  name = "<i class='fa-fw fas fa-tags'></i> Tags"
  pageRef = "/tags"
  weight = 40
{{< /multiconfig >}}

## Multilingual Example

For multilingual sites, set different menus for each language in `hugo.toml`:

{{< multiconfig file=hugo >}}
[languages]
  [languages.en]
    title = "Hugo Relearn Theme"
    weight = 1
    languageName = "English"

  [[languages.en.menu.shortcuts]]
    name = "<i class='fa-fw fab fa-github'></i> GitHub repo"
    identifier = "ds"
    url = "https://github.com/McShelby/hugo-theme-relearn"
    weight = 10

  [[languages.en.menu.shortcuts]]
    name = "<i class='fa-fw fas fa-camera'></i> Showcases"
    pageRef = "/showcase"
    weight = 11

  [[languages.en.menu.shortcuts]]
    name = "<i class='fa-fw fas fa-bookmark'></i> Hugo Documentation"
    identifier = "hugodoc"
    url = "https://gohugo.io/"
    weight = 20

  [[languages.en.menu.shortcuts]]
    name = "<i class='fa-fw fas fa-bullhorn'></i> Credits"
    pageRef = "/more/credits"
    weight = 30

  [[languages.en.menu.shortcuts]]
    name = "<i class='fa-fw fas fa-tags'></i> Tags"
    pageRef = "/tags"
    weight = 40

  [languages.pir]
    title = "Cap'n Hugo Relearrrn Theme"
    weight = 2
    languageName = "Arrr! Pirrratish"

  [[languages.pir.menu.shortcuts]]
    name = "<i class='fa-fw fab fa-github'></i> GitHub repo"
    identifier = "ds"
    url = "https://github.com/McShelby/hugo-theme-relearn"
    weight = 10

  [[languages.pir.menu.shortcuts]]
    name = "<i class='fa-fw fas fa-camera'></i> Showcases"
    pageRef = "/showcase"
    weight = 11

  [[languages.pir.menu.shortcuts]]
    name = "<i class='fa-fw fas fa-bookmark'></i> Cap'n Hugo Documentat'n"
    identifier = "hugodoc"
    url = "https://gohugo.io/"
    weight = 20

  [[languages.pir.menu.shortcuts]]
    name = "<i class='fa-fw fas fa-bullhorn'></i> Crrredits"
    pageRef = "/more/credits"
    weight = 30

  [[languages.pir.menu.shortcuts]]
    name = "<i class='fa-fw fas fa-tags'></i> Arrr! Tags"
    pageRef = "/tags"
    weight = 40
{{< /multiconfig >}}

## Displaying Pages Only in the Shortcuts Menu

To show pages only in the shortcuts menu you have two choices

1. Create a [headless branch bundle](https://gohugo.io/content-management/page-bundles/#headless-bundle), `_index.md` in its own folder with the below front matter. The branch bundle will **not** be contained in the sitemap.

    {{< multiconfig fm=true file="content/showcase/_index.en.md" >}}
    title = "Showcase"
    [_build]
      render = "always"
      list = "never"
      publishResources = true
    {{< /multiconfig >}}

2. Or, put a child page inside a headless branch bundle with the following front matter in the bundle. This causes the child but not the branch bundle to be contained in the sitemap.

    {{< multiconfig fm=true file="content/more/_index.en.md" >}}
    [_build]
      render = "never"
      list = "never"
      publishResources = false
    {{< /multiconfig >}}

    The child page can be any type of content.

    {{< multiconfig fm=true file="content/more/credits_index.en.md" >}}
    title = "Credits"
    {{< /multiconfig >}}
