# Admin intents now support Settings

We're excited to announce that [admin intents](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/admin/admin-intents) now support Settings. This new feature allows apps to direct merchants straight to specific **Settings** pages within the Shopify admin.

### What's new?

Previously, directing merchants to a specific **Settings** page required deep links or manual navigation instructions. Now, with Settings support for admin intents, your app can open a Settings route with a single API call. This keeps merchants focused and eliminates unnecessary navigation steps.

### Supported intents

The following Settings intents are now available:

**General**

* `edit:settings/StoreDetails`
* `edit:settings/StoreDefaults`
* `edit:settings/OrderIdFormat`
* `edit:settings/OrderProcessing`

**Locations**

* `create:shopify/Location`
* `edit:shopify/Location`
* `edit:settings/LocationDefault`

### How it works

When your app invokes a Settings intent, the Shopify admin opens the relevant **Settings** page within a page stack, which organizes pages in a layered manner. The Shopify admin automatically scrolls to the targeted card, ensuring merchants land precisely where they need to be.

Sidekick uses Settings intents to streamline configuration tasks, providing merchants with a link that opens the correct **Settings** page upon clicking.

### Learn more

To get started, refer to the [admin intents documentation](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/admin/admin-intents) and the [Intents API reference](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/app-home/apis/intents).
