Useful URL Shortcuts

Sometimes rather than navigating, it is easier to type in the relevant URLs, particularly if you have these set up with a text auto-completion tool. Also helpful if you can't get to say the site administration block because it has been hidden away.

In all examples, these go after your base URL e.g. /admin means https://{yourmoodle.com}/admin.
