Note: By default, Lark desktop app will open links within the desktop app. If you want to change the setting to open links in the browser by default, click your profile photo, select Settings > Efficiency, and then select In browser under Open links.
Manage tabs
If you open a document, webpage, or app found in the App Directory through the desktop app, it will appear as a temporary tab in the lower part of the navigation bar. You can perform three actions on these tabs:
- Close: Hover over a tab and click the icon to close it, or right-click the tab and select Close.

Manage pinned apps and tabs
When you pin an app or tab, it will appear on the upper part of the navigation bar. You can customize this part of the navigation bar by rearranging, collapsing, or removing the pinned apps and tabs.
- Rearrange: Drag apps and tabs to rearrange them in the navigation bar.
- 250px|700px|reset
- Unpin: Right-click a no longer needed app or tab and select Unpin.
- Note: If you cannot unpin an app from the navigation bar, it is likely because the app is either a core app of Lark or an administrator has set it to always be visible there.

- Move to More: If you commonly use an app or tab found in More, you can drag it to the upper navigation bar to pin it there. You can also drag apps and tabs to More if you don't use them often.
