Web application

Open your deployment’s application address in a major web browser. Use the address supplied by your organization. Blue-hosted addresses and app store links are listed under Blue-hosted applications.

Desktop app

Install the web application in a separate window with a Chromium-based browser, such as Google Chrome, Brave, Microsoft Edge, Opera, Vivaldi, or Chromium.

The installed application supports desktop shortcuts, fullscreen mode, and native desktop notifications. It receives web application updates automatically.

Open a supported browser.
Open your deployment’s application address and sign in.
Find the install icon on the right side of the address bar. It typically looks like a small computer or a plus symbol.
Select the install icon and follow the browser prompts.

The installed application opens in a separate window.

Keep the application in the Mac Dock

Open the installed application.
Right-click or Control-click its Dock icon.
Select Options > Keep in Dock.

The icon remains in the Dock after you close the application.

Create a Windows desktop shortcut

Open the system location where the application is installed.
Right-click its icon.
Select Create shortcut.
Place the shortcut on your desktop.

Double-click the shortcut to open the application.

Mobile applications

Native mobile application availability depends on your deployment. Use the application approved by your organization.

The native mobile applications do not include all web application features. You can view boards and calendars, and review and reply to comments. The iPad application uses a layout designed for a larger tablet screen.

Select the new icon on your home screen to open the PWA.

PWA on Android

Enter your deployment’s application address.
Select the three-dot menu in the upper-right corner.
