📌 Overview

Quick Links are a valuable feature in Fidelis that allow Community Admins to share important external resources directly on every student and staff member’s homepage. These links can improve navigation, accessibility, and visibility of key tools, such as:

• 🎓 School websites

• 📰 Newsletters or blogs

• 🗂️ LMS platforms

• 📄 Google Docs or other resources

🛠️ Who Can Add Quick Links?

Only users with Admin permissions can configure Quick Links.
