Surface the files and folders you use most by starring them or pinning them to quick access in Workly Drive.
Star an item
- Select the file or folder
- Click the Star icon in the selection action bar
The icon switches to filled to confirm. Click again to unstar.
Find your starred items
Open the Starred quick view in Drive to see everything you’ve starred — across folders, in one list.
Pin to quick access
- Select the file or folder
- Click the Pin icon in the selection action bar
The label changes to Unpin when an item is pinned. Pinned Drive items also appear in the sidebar’s Pinned section, so they’re available from anywhere in Workly — not just inside Drive.
Star vs Pin — which should I use?
- Star if you just want a personal “favorites” list inside Drive
- Pin if you want the item to live at the top of your sidebar for one-click access from anywhere in Workly
Bulk star or pin
Select multiple items and use the same action — Star or Pin — to apply to the whole selection at once.
