Customize your Homepage
Expanded or Compact Mode
In the sidebar, select Change tile size to toggle between Expanded mode and Compact Mode.
| Expanded Mode | Compact Mode |
|---|---|
| Expanded mode uses a large icon for each app in MyUW, many of which are widgets that display additional information, allowing you to access more directly from your homepage. | Compact mode uses smaller icons, so more apps can fit on your screen. However, in this mode no additional information will be displayed and each app will need to be accessed individually. |
