Accessing the new Screenshot app from the Dock

I've just upgraded my iMac to Mojave, and am experimenting with the new features. I'm intrigued with the new Screenshot utility, but find it doesn't do too much more than was already available in Preview. The new app is more elegant, though, and I am sure I would use it more if it is more accessible. However, I find I am unable to place it in the Dock (as Preview is), and can only access it by going to Applications/Utilities. Can anyone tell me how to place it in the Dock so it is more readily available?

Apple TV, tvOS 11

Yes. Simply drag the screenshot app from the Applications/Utilities folder to your dock.

But personally, I find these keyboard shortcuts to produce screenshots even more useful than the utility. (From System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Screenshot)

Pressing "command shift 5" should be fairly easy but you can drag Screenshot into the Dock as long as it's to the left of the separator.

Thanks to dialabrain and sberman for your prompt and helpful responses. I gave the Solved check to dialabrain because response first by three minutes, but appreciate both.
