Application overview

When you open an application from the hub, you arrive at the application overview. This is where you see and manage all the content within the application. The content of the main area depends on what category you have selected: sheets, bookmarks, or stories.

If the hub has been disabled by your administrator, you arrive at the application overview when Qlik Sense starts up.

You find content that is part of the published application in the upper part of the main area. You cannot add any content to the base part of the published application. Your private content is displayed under My sheets/My bookmarks/My stories. Depending on access rights, you may be allowed to publish your private content so that other users of the application can explore it.

Information notePublishing is not supported in Qlik Sense Desktop, which means that you only see your private content in the hub when using Qlik Sense Desktop.
