To get you excited about Mojave&#8217;s features and capabilities, the Rocket Yard has been offering peeks at some of the features we&#8217;re most interested in. Today, we&#8217;re highlighting Finder Quick Actions, a new way to quickly edit files without the need to launch the apps associated with them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Enabling Quick Actions<\/strong><br \/>\nWith a&nbsp;powerful new feature like Quick Actions, it wouldn&#8217;t be &#8220;Mac-like&#8221;&nbsp;if Apple made it hard to use. All you&#8217;ll need to do is open a Finder window, then select View &gt; Show Preview (keyboard shortcut: Shift-Command-P). In earlier versions of macOS, Preview displays a sidebar with a small preview of a file along with its size, creation, modification, and last opened dates, and the ability to add tags.<\/p>\n<p>In macOS Mojave, Quick Actions are added below the preview of the&nbsp;selected file in the sidebar (see screenshot below). The actions will vary depending on the file and the app used to edit it. By the way, these screenshots show macOS Mojave&#8217;s new Dark mode.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_45305\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-45305\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-45305\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Screen-Shot-2018-07-20-at-1.08.58-PM-copy-resized.jpg\" alt=\"Quick Actions listed below the Preview at right in this screenshot\" width=\"640\" height=\"384\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Screen-Shot-2018-07-20-at-1.08.58-PM-copy-resized.jpg 640w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Screen-Shot-2018-07-20-at-1.08.58-PM-copy-resized-200x120.jpg 200w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Screen-Shot-2018-07-20-at-1.08.58-PM-copy-resized-284x170.jpg 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Screen-Shot-2018-07-20-at-1.08.58-PM-copy-resized-190x114.jpg 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Screen-Shot-2018-07-20-at-1.08.58-PM-copy-resized-200x120@2x.jpg 400w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Screen-Shot-2018-07-20-at-1.08.58-PM-copy-resized-284x170@2x.jpg 568w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Screen-Shot-2018-07-20-at-1.08.58-PM-copy-resized-190x114@2x.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-45305\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>(Quick Actions listed below the Preview at right in this screenshot.)<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Quick Actions for Images<\/strong><br \/>\nUsing the Quick Actions available in macOS Mojave, there&#8217;s no longer a need to launch Preview or other image editing apps to perform common tasks.
