Adding favorites to the portal.azure.com menu blade

Over and over, I found myself stuck in recalling how to add these favorites (of resource view blades) to the azure portal menu again… It’s not straightforward, no, there’s not just an add favorite to the menu on yet another blade view, like in the header area, for example. Nope. Instead you have to list all Azure services through https://portal.azure.com/#home , find the resource in question, wait for the hover popup and then activate the starred check box in the upper right corner. Ok, here we go.

So, this is what we do talk about, favorites in the menu blade.

This is where I would expect an add favorite to the menu item, just a proposal 🙂

However, instead we need to locate the little starred checkbox for a service already top rated in our home view or locatable under the services view itself.

Once checked, the favorite will immediately appear in the menu blade, being put right at the tail of all items. One may move it by d’n’d to whatever position required. With the hover popup / starred checkbox being available here as well, we may also remove the favorite again.

Have fun
