FIGURE 3-6: You can silence notifications from individual apps.
Working with Settings Shortcuts
The action center contains a gob (that’s a technical term) of shortcuts at the bottom of the Notifications pane. In Figure 3-2, I count four of them. If the computer used a Wi-Fi connection, there would have been additional shortcuts for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, rotation lock, battery saver, and brightness. The maximum number of shortcuts available varies depending on whether you're using a desktop PC, laptop, tablet, or 2-in-1; its hardware configuration; and the apps installed.
Quick actions mimic what you would find on a smartphone — airplane mode is an obvious analog — all readily accessible from the right side of the screen. In many cases, a quick action displays a Settings page, where you can change the individual setting, displays a pane on the right side of the screen (Connect, Project), or toggles a specific setting in, uh, Settings. The Screen Snip quick action opens the Snip & Sketch app, which you can use to take screenshots.
You have some — but not much — control over which icons appear at the bottom of the pane. Here’s how to exert as much influence as you can:
1 Tap or click the Start icon, the Settings icon, and then System.Or you can get into Settings from the bottom of the action center.
2 On the left, choose Notifications & Actions, and then on the right click the Edit Your Quick Actions link.The Notifications pane appears (refer to Figure 3-7).FIGURE 3-7: Editing the list of quick actions available in the action center.
3 To rearrange the icons for quick actions, just click and drag.You can’t drag a quick action off the grid.
4 To choose additional quick action icons, click or tap the Add+ button, and make a selection from the list that appears.
5 To remove a quick action icon, click or tap its pin on the top-right.
6 When you've set things the way you want them, tap Done.
Table 3-1 explains what each of the configurable quick action icons does.
