====== Adding an Application Shortcut & Replacing Objects ======

Page layouts often require object/icons locations to be flexible. The launcher's "Layout" object offers a more rigid format. An Application shortcut offers a flexible location while linking to an application. This procedure demonstrates adding these to the workspace, positioning, and removing unwanted objects to customize the page layout.

===== Adding the Application Shortcut =====

  - In ''Edit Mode On'' select the Add icon {{:ui:ui-icon_add-white_on_black.webp?direct&25).
  - From the Action dialog select ''Application'' from the list of available object types.
    * **Layout** - for anchored, pre-defined layouts
    * **Widget** - multifunction objects which can be a combination of text and graphic elements (mixed). See [[:section:section-widget|Widgets]] for a complete review.
    * **Graphic** - objects which can be graphic (image) or text (static or variable)
  - For this demo, a graphic image is selected.
  - From the Action dialog lists the activities available
    * This action method defaults to a "Tap" action. Other activation methods (swipes) can later be chosen by directly accessing the Action icon {{ui:ui-icon_action.webp?direct&25}} in the Object Design menu.
  - An Application dialog then lists all applications on the device. Scroll through the list or use the search bar to locate the target application.
  - The object (shortcut) is placed on the page containing the icon of the selected application. 
    - Note that the application is placed on the page in a selected state (object boundaries are highlighted).
  - Drag the new shortcut to the desired location on the page.
  - **Optional:** Resizing the shortcut object is possible by dragging the handles located on the corners of the bounding box.

===== Removing an Existing Object =====

To delete an object:
  - Select the object to be removed by tapping it once or "tap & hold"
  - From the Object Design menu select the ''Delete'' icon {{:ui:ui-icon_delete.webp?direct&25}}.
  - The launcher's Confirm dialog appears. Tap OK.
  - The object is removed from the workspace, leaving the space available for other design objects.
