# Favorite Apps

> Keep the Domino Apps you use most in the Work mode sidebar, then open, filter, reorder, or remove them from your personal Favorite Apps list.

**Favorite Apps** is the list of Apps in the [Work mode](https://docs.domino.ai/cloud/platform-capabilities/core-concepts/apps/work-mode.md) sidebar, which keeps the Apps you use most one click away. The list is personal: each user keeps their own set and order, and adding or removing a favorite doesn't change the App or anyone else's access to it.

## Add an App to your favorites

On an App's card in Work mode, select **Add to sidebar** (the plus icon). The App joins the end of your **Favorite Apps** list. To take it off, select **Remove from sidebar** (the minus icon) on the same card.

**Add to sidebar** appears only on Apps you have access to. For any other App, select **Request access** on its card first, then add it once the App's owner accepts.

## Open a favorite App

Select an App in the list to open it inside Work mode. Each row shows the App's icon, or the default App icon if the App has none. A favorite whose details Domino can't load doesn't appear in the list.

A dimmed row doesn't open. Hover over it to see why:

| Reason | What the row shows | What to do |
| :- | :- | :- |
| The App isn't running | A message that names who to contact to start it | Ask that person to start the App |
| You no longer have access to the App | **You must request access to use this App**, with a **Request access** button | Select **Request access**, then wait for the App's owner to accept |

To find a favorite in a long list, type part of its name in **Filter Apps** at the top of the list. The filter ignores case, and it clears when you collapse the sidebar or start customizing it.

With no favorites, the sidebar shows **Browse Apps**, which opens the list of every App you can find in Work mode.

## Reorder or remove favorites

**1. Start customizing**

Select **Customize** at the bottom of the sidebar. While you customize, the filter is hidden and selecting a row doesn't open the App.

**2. Reorder your favorites**

Drag a row to a new position.

**3. Remove a favorite**

Select the minus icon (**Remove**) on its row. Removing a favorite doesn't stop or delete the App.

**4. Finish**

Select **Done**.

Domino saves each change as you make it. If a save fails, Domino shows an error and restores your last saved list.

## Collapse the sidebar

Select **Collapse sidebar** (the chevron) at the bottom of the sidebar, or press Cmd+B (macOS) or Ctrl+B (Windows and Linux), to shrink the sidebar to App icons. Hover over an icon to see the App's name, or, for a dimmed icon, why it doesn't open. Collapsing the sidebar with the keyboard shortcut also ends customizing.
