# Roadmap
- Additional UI options for seeing your shortcuts (other than just what fits in the top shortcuts bar).
- Many more enhancements are in queue. Please let us know what is important for you to help us prioritize.
# Permissions explanation
- This extension changes the html of the AWS console (e.g., the shortcuts bar)
- This extension receives messages from the Cloud Pegboard web client running in your browser (only when you are logged in to Cloud Pegboard) so that your Cloud Pegboard web page can send your lists of services to the extension. There is no server communication to/from the extension.

Latest reviews
- (2020-09-30) Gwynnarth: I discovered this extension when looking for a solution that would reliably allow me to define a list of shortcuts to favourite AWS services in the top bar of the AWS Console. This extension does just that and MUCH more. Ability to select favourite regions, and links to "Datasheets" (which are super-awesome and gather in one place everything you might need to know about a particular service) is equally useful. Now that AWS decided to remove the "shortcut bar" completely, I'd say that it's even more useful. I simply love this extension!
- (2020-04-15) Matt Houser: Very useful. I love the colour differentiation when signed into different accounts.
- (2020-03-25) Connor Robbins: Very useful extension!
- (2020-03-24) Matthew Bonig: Very useful! Already a favorite extension for the AWS accounts I work with.
