Setting a default bookmark to create an app landing page
You can select a sheet to be the landing page of your app by setting a default bookmark. When you open the app, the layout state and the selection state of the default bookmark are used.
If you do not set a default bookmark, the app overview is displayed when the app is opened.
Consider the following when using default bookmarks:
- You can only set or remove a default bookmark in an unpublished app.
- You can only set one default bookmark for an app.
- You can clear the selection of the default bookmark when viewing a sheet. However, the bookmark will be applied when you re-open or reload the sheet.
- In a published app, the app consumer can clear the selection of the default bookmark and make other selections. However, the selection state of the default bookmark will be re-applied when the app consumer re-opens or reloads a sheet.
- When you duplicate an app, the default bookmark is duplicated with the app.
For more information about bookmarks, see Bookmarking selections.
You can use a default bookmark in conjunction with the Always one selected value for a field to highlight specific selections for your app consumer.

- Click > in the toolbar of a sheet. The Bookmarks window opens.
