Check How to pin/unpin apps and websites into Chromebook’s shelf
Chromebooks run Chrome OS, an enhanced version of the Chrome browser designed to increase productivity on Chromebooks and Chromeboxes. Like most mature desktop operating systems, Chromebooks offer the ability to pin shortcuts and apps to a so-called “tray” or area (usually) at the bottom of the screen. We’ll show you how to add or remove pinned apps from your Chromebook tray, so you can customize your shortcuts to suit your needs.
The Chromebook tray is at the bottom of the screen by default. Like the Windows taskbar and Mac dock, it houses an app launcher and shortcuts to frequently used apps. You can also add website shortcuts to your Chromebook tablet. Follow these steps to add website shortcuts to your Chromebook tray.
How to pin/unpin apps and websites on Chromebook shelf
- To get started, open Chrome and go to a website you want to pin to the taskbar. Then click on the options menu at the top right of the screen and go to More Tools > Create Shortcut.
- You will then be prompted to enter a shortcut name and click the “Create” button.
- The site icon will be added to the taskbar. To make it work as an app, right click on the icon and choose the “New Window” option. Otherwise, it will just open in a new tab in Chrome browser like any website. In fact, you may want to set the other default icons on the taskbar to open in a separate window as well.
- That’s all about it! The site icon will appear in the taskbar and open as a separate window when you click it, or tap if you have a touchscreen Chromebook. Then you can have multiple windows open at the same time instead of multiple tabs in a single Chrome session.
- You can do a few things to manage the windows, namely press the “overview (F5)” key on the keyboard. That will give you an experience similar to task view (Alt + Tab) in Windows. It will show all your currently open windows and apps, and you can click the one you want to focus on.
- If you want to remove a shortcut from the taskbar, right-click on it and choose “Unpin” from the menu.
