Quick Actions

Quick Actions adds a row of buttons above admin listings such as the content overview. Each button links to a page or downloads a file, so editors always have templates, guides and related tools one click away.

Features

• Link buttons for internal paths or external URLs, optionally opening in a new window.
• File download buttons. Files are uploaded on the settings page and tracked with file usage.
• Show each button to everyone or only to selected roles.
• Drag-and-drop ordering.
• Optional custom SVG icon per button. The markup is sanitized.
• Place the buttons in any View header, footer or empty area (Global: Quick actions), or as a block.
• Uses the active theme's button styles, so it matches Claro, Gin and other themes. Responsive on all screen sizes.

Typical uses: an import template next to the content list, a style guide link for editors, or shortcuts to related admin tools.

Post-Installation

1. Grant the Administer quick actions permission to the roles that should manage the buttons.
2. Go to Configuration » User interface » Quick actions (/admin/config/user-interface/quick-actions) and add buttons.
3. The buttons appear above /admin/content straight away. To show them elsewhere, add Global: Quick actions to a View's header, or place the Quick actions block.

Additional Requirements

Only Drupal core: the File module, and Views for the View integration. Works with Drupal 10.3 and 11.

Recommended modules/libraries

None.
