How to Let Users Favourite Apps From the Menu

Letting users favourite apps from the menu removes a small but constant friction: shortcuts that only an administrator could arrange, or that required navigating away to set.

Why shortcut management gets neglected

If changing a shortcut takes more effort than living without it, nobody changes it.

Members unable to favourite apps easily
Favourites set once and never revisited
Navigation back to a home screen just to change a shortcut
Different people needing different shortcuts from the same workspace

What changed and why it matters

Before	Now
Favouriting required going to the home screen	Favourite and unfavourite directly from the menu bar
Members had difficulty managing their own shortcuts	Any user shapes their own, while navigating
Build tools always visible	Build mode toggles, hiding creation tools when not needed

How to use it in Jestor

Navigate to any app in Jestor.
Favourite or unfavourite it directly from the menu bar, without leaving.
Use the build mode button to show or hide the creation tools.
Hover the menu to reach the AI builder and the creation options.
Use quick actions for the operations you perform most often.

Why choose Jestor for user autonomy?

Jestor made this change specifically because members — not builders — were the ones struggling, and a platform where only administrators can personalize is a platform most people use badly.

Hiding the creation tools behind build mode matters for the same reason: someone who only uses processes should not see a toolbar for changing them.

Can members manage their own favourites?

Yes, directly from the menu bar. See jestor.com.

Can I hide the creation tools?

Yes, by turning build mode off.
