# Managing Favorite Shortcuts

The `Favorites` menu is accessible from the `User Profile` section. It is a list of resources marked as your *favorites* and allows users to quickly and easily access data, documents, and maps that they use often, without needing to search for them in the catalog.

Initially, the list is empty. To add a resource to the favorites list, navigate to the resource information page and click the `star icon` button to add the resource to favorites.

If you now look for the `Favorites` list, you will notice that the new resources are quickly available from there. You can click on the resource name to move directly to the resource page again.
