iterm2 snippets and actions are disabled

On MacOS, I tried creating some actions and snippets under Pref>Shortcuts. And they do get listed under Edit>Actions> and Edit>Snippets. However the menu item is grayed out or disabled. Are there any settings am missing ?

I did some digging, having run into this issue myself, and found a way to enable them. From the iTerm2 docs:

Go to Preferences > Profiles > Session. Turn on Status bar enabled. Then click Configure Status Bar to begin setting up your status bar configuration.

You will then need to drag the Snippets… button down to the Active Components area. Now a Send Snippet… button should appear in your iTerm2 window:

Send Snippet button
