# Use a URL or item ID to find an item

When you work in Horizon, the URL in your browser's address field contains information about the current item, language, and site. You can copy the URL and use it later to quickly access the item.

![The page URL in the address field of a browser](https://doc.sitecore.com/api/markdown-image/xp/en/users/100/sitecore-experience-platform/images/Page_URL_in_browser.png)

Also, if you know the item ID of a page or content item, you can edit the URL in your browser's address field to find the item.

To use the item ID to find an item:

1. From the [Sitecore Launchpad](https://doc.sitecore.com/xp/en/users/100/sitecore-experience-platform/overview-of-the-sitecore-launchpad.html "Overview of the Sitecore Launchpad"), open Horizon.

    The Home page for your default site and language opens in Pages.

2. In the browser's address field, select the item ID of the currently displayed page.

    > [!note]
    > The item ID is the number after `sc_itemid=` and before `&sc_lang=`.
