How to access Wagtail snippets menu

I am running Wagtail v2.8 and I want to use snippets. The documentation says

You can access the Snippets menu by clicking on the ‘Snippets’ link in the left-hand menu bar.

Mine shows no 'Snippets' items. I have

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'wagtail.snippets',
    ...]

enter image description here

What do I need to do?

You need to register a model as a snippet using @register_snippet. If you ForeignKey to a Django model and need to choose it in the Wagtail admin, you can use SnippetChooserPanel in your content_panels or panels definition: https://docs.wagtail.io/en/latest/reference/pages/panels.html#module-wagtail.snippets.edit_handlers

Depending on what you need to do, you might find that using a site setting is more appropriate.
