The Hub and the app launcher

Find your apps, pin the ones you use most, and open recent files from the Hub home page.

#What's on the Hub

  • Your apps: the apps you've pinned, plus any links your organisation has added for everyone. Until you pin something, the Hub shows a few of your apps to get you started.
  • Recent in Drive: files you've opened or changed lately. Select one to open the folder it's in.
  • The top bar, the same in every app: search, notifications, the app launcher and your account menu.

#Open an app

  1. Select the app launcher (the grid of squares) in the top bar, or All apps in the sidebar.
  2. Select the app. You can type in Search apps… to find it quickly.

You only see apps you have a licence for and that your organisation uses. If one you need is missing, ask your admin.

#Pin your favourite apps

Pinned apps appear on the Hub home page and in the sidebar of every app, so they're one click away.

  1. Open the app launcher.
  2. Select the pin next to an app. Select it again to unpin it.

#Switch between light and dark

Select your photo or initials in the top right, then Dark mode (or Light mode). Your choice is remembered on that device.

Your admin can add links to other websites and tools your organisation uses. They appear in the app launcher and on the Hub alongside your Bramble apps. To add or change them, an admin uses Custom links.
