Launch and edit shortcuts on Mac
Although Apple claims from the beginning that Shortcuts on the Mac are very similar to those on the iPhone or iPad, the way they are launched and edited are quite different. You might be wondering how to actually launch a shortcut on a Mac. First, launch the Shortcuts app as such, then find the shortcut you want to launch. Then move the mouse cursor over this shortcut, and when a play button appears to the left of the shortcut name, click this button to start the shortcut. If you want to edit the selected shortcut, you need to double-click on it. This will take you to the main tab of the shortcut itself, where you can freely edit all the necessary details.
