E:104.07 - Workplace for Browsers: Websites

All of your accounts and bookmarks can be launched and edited in Workplace for Browsers. Let’s talk about how to manage your websites.

Sign in to Workplace for Windows or macOS, then click the icon-genericbrowser.svg icon, which will take you to Workplace for Browsers.

Websites Overview

Click Websites in the left sidebar. Workplace categorizes your saved websites (URLs) into:

  • My accounts, with credentials attached.
  • My bookmarks, which are saved websites with no credentials attached.
  • Shared with you and by your co-workers.
  • Add bookmark allows you to manually add a website to Workplace.

Click the Star iOS_star.png next to your most important websites, and they'll be pinned to your Launch page.

Hosted Browser (VDA Essentials Hybrid Only)

Some websites that your company determined are highly sensitive will be restricted to a Hosted browser. Or, if your computer fails any compliance checks, all websites will launch in a hosted browser. You'll know when a website will launch in a hosted environment by the gray cloud icon.

As soon as you remediate a failed compliance check, you will be able to work in a local browser, where appropriate.
