Quick Actions puts your most-used Helperbird features right at your fingertips. Instead of searching through menus, you can access everything you need in one spot.

Here's how to customize it.


Step 1: Open Helperbird

Click the Helperbird icon in the top right corner of your browser. The Helperbird menu will open, showing your current Quick Actions at the top with icon boxes.


Step 2: Add Your Favorite Features

Look for the Quick Actions button near the top of Helperbird, beside the icon boxes. It looks like a small grid of squares with a plus sign (+), and says "Quick actions" when you hover over it. Click it.

A list of all available features will appear. Browse through and click any feature you want to add to Quick Actions. A green checkmark will appear on the right of the feature to show it has been added.

The feature will instantly appear in your Quick Actions area.

Step 3: Remove Features You Don't Need

If you want to remove a feature from Quick Actions, click the Quick Actions button again.

Find the feature you want to remove in the list and click it. The green checkmark will go away, and the feature will disappear from your Quick Actions area right away.

Tip: Add the features you use every day to Quick Actions. It saves you time and keeps the tools you rely on in one place.

It's easy to use with every webpage since it's just an extension. You can access lots of different functions to declutter a page (show only the relevant text and not ads, for example). You can add post it notes to annotate, and it has things like text-to-speech.
