Looking-for cross-reference card

A dashed card on the tab where you'd reasonably look for a setting, pointing at the tab that actually owns it.

What it is

Some settings are intuitive to hunt for in more than one place — email design reads as a Communications thing even though it lives under Brand. Rather than duplicating live controls in two tabs, the non-home tab shows a one-line pointer with a button that navigates to the real home.

The dashed card on Email Studio reading 'Looking for sender setup?' with an Open Email settings button. SettingsPointerCard.tsx. Sample data — no customer information appears here.
How it works
  1. 1SettingsPointerCard takes explanatory text, a button label and a target hash.
  2. 2The button pushes the hash and fires a hashchange so the settings view switches immediately.
  3. 3Example in use: Email Studio points at Communications → Email for sender setup and costs.
Why we built it

The component comment says the alternative was duplicating live controls in two tabs — two places to break. Pointing instead of duplicating keeps one owner per setting while still catching the person who looked in the wrong place.

The problem
  • Settings that plausibly belong to two categories either went missing or got duplicated.
  • Duplicated controls drifted apart.
Sound familiar?
What you get
One owner per setting, with no dead ends for someone who guessed the other tab.
