Open the app menu (to the right of the Apple menu

On your Mac, choose Apple menu
in the sidebar, then click Keyboard Shortcuts. (You may need to scroll down.)In the sidebar, click Services, then select items to make them available in the Services menu or deselect items to remove them.
Items appear in an app’s Services menu only if they’re relevant to the app or task.
You can create keyboard shortcuts for services, so you don’t have to use an app’s Service menu.
If you can’t use a service
If you don’t have permission to open the app that’s providing the service, you need to log in as an administrator to use the service.
If an app is missing or can’t be opened, try searching for it on your Mac and opening it. Then try using the service again.
If the app is in the Trash, select it and choose File > Put Back. Then try using the service again.
