### Add mini programs to the Launchpad

At the bottom of the Launchpad, you can see the[mini programs](/docs/en-us/cherry-studio/preview/app.md)mini programs you've already used (such as the ChatGPT web version, Claude web version, etc.). Frequently used mini programs can be**added to the Launchpad**:

* Right-click the mini program icon and select **added to the Launchpad**
* When the navigation layout is switched to the **left sidebar**  (see "Switch default navigation layout" below), added mini programs will be shown at the bottom of the left sidebar for one-click access

> The 9 core apps in the Launchpad (notes, drawing, translation, etc.) are**fixed** and do not support custom adding or removing.

### Switch default navigation layout

If you are more used to the traditional left sidebar: open `Settings → Display Settings`, in the **Navigation Bar Settings** section, change the **navigation bar position** from `top` to `left`.

After switching, the top Tab bar will be replaced by a vertical icon bar on the left, and you can directly click the corresponding icon to enter the respective interface:

The two layouts have exactly the same functions; choose whichever you prefer,**you can switch back anytime**.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.cherryai.com.cn/docs/en-us/cherry-studio/preview/launchpad.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
