The screenshot app, aptly named Screenshot.app, is located in your Applications/Utilities folder. Just drag it to the Dock like you would any app.

How do I get to Screenshot app "Options" in Mojave to change where grabs are saved? https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201361 implies one can simply open the app and the options are available. However, when I open the app it immediately gives me a capture box and everything else on the screen is grayed out and there is no obvious way to click on "Screenshot" for any menu which might include "options" or "settings." I want to change where images saved. There must be a way to change that.

How can I change the screenshot defaults to save the image to desktop immediately? The current default behavior in Mojave is to show the thumbnail of the screenshot in the lower right, how can I change the default to the way it was prior to Mojave?

Help with screenshots - is it fixable?! For more years than I can remember, I have made heavy use of Cmd-Shift-4 to take screenshots and auto save to desktop. I use this maybe 20-30 times per DAY! I hate it when they change things but don't leave the option to do what it USED to do, after giving me YEARS to get used to it and have a smooth workflow which is now harmed by the hip new ways! When I take a screenshot since upgrading to Mojave, it takes several seconds to save on the desktop, sometimes 5 seconds but never less than 3. That may seem insignificant, but it's the very opposite. It used to be INSTANT! And i could grab the file and drag into a chat window to help support someone online. Is there any way to avoid this delay? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Sure, just open your Utilities Folder, and drag "Screenshot" to the Dock.
