Useful URL Shortcuts For SharePoint Online - Part One

Overview
In this article, I am going to write some useful URLs which will help developers or administrators perform their daily tasks in a very easy manner.
These shortcuts are very useful to developers and make our work faster. This article covers eight shortcut URLs which we can use in our daily practice.
In my next article, we will cover another eight shortcuts.
Now, let’s get started.
1 Create
Aim - We use this shortcut when we want to create a custom list or library or anything like that.
URL - Yoursite/_layouts/create.aspx
In my case, Yoursite = https -//lt16.sharepoint.com/sites/learn
I should append /_layouts/create.aspx to my site URL.
So, my final URL becomes - https -//lt16.sharepoint.com/sites/learn/_layouts/create.aspx
Please follow the same procedure for all the below examples.
Please refer to the below screenshot when using this shortcut URL.

2 Site Column Gallery
Aim - This shortcut is useful when we want to see all the available site columns in SharePoint Online.
URL - Yoursite /_layouts/mngfield.aspx
Please refer to the below screenshot while using this shortcut URL.

3 People and Group
Aim - This shortcut is useful when we want to check people or groups in SharePoint. It shows all the available members in a current site.
URL - Yoursite /_layouts/people.aspx
Please refer the below screenshot when you use this shortcut URL.

4 Manage User Permissions
Aim - If we want to break an existing permission or we want to assign permission for a current site, we can use this shortcut.
URL - Yoursite /_layouts/user.aspx
Please refer to the below screenshot while using this shortcut URL.

5 Site Content Type
Aim - This shortcut is useful when we wish to check all OOTB and custom content types available in the current site or subsite.
URL - Yoursite /_layouts/mngctype.aspx
Please refer to the below screenshot when you use this shortcut URL.

6 Site Content and Structure Manager
Aim - This shortcut shows the structure of a current site. Apart from this, it is also showing all the available content of a selected site.
Using this content and structure manager, we can copy, move, or delete the selected site or subsite very easily.
URL - Yoursite /_layouts/sitemanager.aspx
Please refer the below screenshot to use this shortcut URL.

7 Site Setting
Aim - It’s a very useful URL shortcut. As a SharePoint developer and user, many times, we need to access the site settings. Basically, site settings show us various available settings for the current site or subsite.
URL - Yoursite /_layouts/settings.aspx
Please refer to the below screenshot to use this shortcut URL.

8 Site Content
Aim - When we want to check the site content of the current site or subsite, we can refer this shortcut URL.
