# Launcher

The launchpad centrally displays Cherry Studio’s commonly used feature entry points. Click the one on the right side of the top tab bar **+**, and you can open a new launchpad tab; when the last tab is closed, it will also automatically return to the launchpad.

## Reorder apps

Press and hold an app icon and drag it to the target position to reorder the built-in apps. Cherry Studio will automatically save the new order.

The launchpad and the sidebar each save their own app order. Reordering in the launchpad will not change the sidebar order.

## Pin to sidebar

Frequently used apps can be pinned to the sidebar:

1. Right-click an app in the launchpad.
2. Select **Add to sidebar**.
3. To unpin it, right-click again and select **Remove from sidebar**.

> **Tip:** **Chat** is a required sidebar entry and cannot be removed. Other apps can still be opened from the launchpad even if they are not pinned to the sidebar.

## Manage mini programs

On [Mini programs](/docs/en-us/cherry-studio/preview/app.md) After the page adds the web app to the launchpad, it will appear in the “Mini Programs” area below the built-in apps.

* Drag the mini program icons to adjust their display order.
* Right-click a mini program to add it to the sidebar or remove it from the launchpad.
* Removing it from the launchpad only disables the shortcut; it does not delete the mini program itself.

## 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.
