App Home Screen

When you open Vū Studio at one.vu.studio, you land on the Home Screen — an app-style navigation hub — instead of going straight into the environment's asset library. From here you can jump to any area of Vū Studio, search across your content, open your pinned shortcuts, and pick up where you left off.

Layout​

The Home Screen is a single, centered launcher with no side rails — just the top navigation bar and the page content. It has four main parts, top to bottom:

  1. Welcome hero — a "Welcome back" greeting with a short prompt, plus a Customize Home control for tailoring the page.

  2. Search bar — a command-style search box for finding experiences, assets, folders, maps, and pages. Press ⌘K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows) from anywhere to jump straight to it. Start typing to see matches; results include both app destinations and live matches from your folders and assets. Selecting a result navigates you there.

  3. App tiles — quick-launch tiles for the main areas of Vū Studio, including:

    • Asset Library
    • Experiences
    • Canvas
    • Display Dashboard
    • Connected Devices
    • Settings
    • Wall Connections

    Two chips at the top of the grid switch what the grid shows: Bookmarks (your pinned shortcuts) and All Apps (every destination). The grid shows the first several tiles with a Show all toggle to expand the rest.

  4. Recently Accessed — a strip of the things you opened most recently (see below).

note

The exact set of tiles you see depends on your plan and permissions — feature-gated areas you don't have access to are hidden.

Pinned Shortcuts​

You can customize the Home Screen by pinning shortcuts to the items you use most, so your landing page reflects your own workflow. Pinned shortcuts appear under the Bookmarks chip on the Home Screen, and the first few also appear as links in the top navigation bar.

To pin a shortcut:

  • On the Home Screen, hover a recommended app tile or a Recently Accessed card and click its pin icon.
  • To pin a folder, use the folder's context menu in the Library and choose Pin folder. Pinned folders appear on the Home Screen and in a collapsible Pinned section at the top of the Library's side navigation.

To remove a shortcut: hover a pinned tile and click the × (you'll be asked to confirm), or choose Unpin folder from a folder's context menu.

To reorder shortcuts: use the Re-order control next to the tiles (or press and hold a tile on a touch screen) to enter reorder mode, then drag the tiles into the order you want. Your arrangement is saved.

tip

On a touch screen, long-press a recommended tile to pin it, or long-press a pinned tile to enter reorder mode — a regular tap always just opens the tile.

Recently Accessed​

The Recently Accessed strip gives you a fast way back to what you were most recently working with. It shows your most recent items — such as folders and pages — as a horizontal row of cards, along with a Create New card at the end.

Each card shows a thumbnail (for folders) or the item's icon, its title, and a relative "time ago" label so you can see at a glance how recently you used it. Click a card to reopen the item. Hover a card and click its pin icon to promote it to a pinned shortcut.

Recently Accessed is populated automatically as you move around Vū Studio — there's nothing to set up. If you haven't opened anything yet, the strip is hidden until you do.
