Install Content Hubs as an app on your device


About

You can install your organization’s Content Hubs site as an app on your phone, tablet, or computer, with no app store needed.

The app opens the site in its own window, with the same login and content as in your browser. On a phone, you can open it straight from your home screen instead of finding it in your browser.

This feature requires the Webapp module to be enabled. If you don't see an install banner on your site, contact your administrator.

Before you start

Open your organization’s Content Hubs site using its web address or a link shared with you. Use a supported browser, and don’t use a private or incognito window.

If the Incompatible browser popup opens, select Copy link and paste the link into a supported browser. On an iPhone or iPad, use Safari.
