Launchpad is `/en` — the page you land on after signing in. It lists the apps installed for the Account and role you are currently using, and nothing else.

The navbar link is labelled **Launchpad**.

## What is on the page

**Core apps** is the first heading. It holds up to three fixed apps, and only those installed for you: **AI Studio**, **Drive** and **Spaces**.

**More apps** follows, with the rest of your installed apps as a grid of tiles. The grid itself has no heading of its own.

**Admin apps** appears inside that section, above a divider, when you hold an administrator role and at least one of your installed apps is an administration app.

Under the grid a line counts what you have, for example **You've installed 7 of 24 available apps**, next to a **Manage apps** link that opens the App Store.

## Searching

A search box appears above the grid once you have two or more apps outside the core three. It is labelled **Search in apps** and matches on the app's name and description. When nothing matches, the grid shows **No applications match your search** and **Try another application name.**

## Pinning apps to the navbar

1. Select **Customize** to the right of the **Core apps** heading.
2. Pin badges appear on every tile. Select one to pin or unpin that app.
3. Use **Show pinned apps in main navigation** to control whether pinned apps also appear in the navbar.
4. Select **Done** to keep the changes, or **Cancel** to discard them.

Pinned apps move to the front of the grid.

## Tiles you cannot open

A tile that is dimmed and does not respond is installed but not currently openable — the app's own route is not available to you. A screen reader announces it as, for example, **Spaces is not available**. See [An app is missing](/help/system/an-app-is-missing).

## When you have no apps yet

The page shows **Get started with apps**, the count line, and **Manage apps**. Below that, apps you can install are listed as rows; a row with no description of its own reads **Available in App Store**, and each row has an **Install** button.

## What Launchpad does not show

Launchpad is scoped to one membership. It carries no greeting, no Account switcher and no quick-action shortcuts. To change Account, use the avatar menu; see [Switch between Accounts](/help/system/switch-accounts).
