Article summary

We know how important flow is in your work, so we've made it easy for you to access anything you might need from anywhere.

Unleash is available as a:

  • Web App

  • Desktop App

  • Launch Bar

  • Dial

  • Browser Extension

Web App

To open the web app:

  • Sign into your account here.

Note: The spotlight-style Launch Bar is only available on the web app if the Browser Extension is installed.

Desktop App

Downloading the desktop is optional. It performs the same as the web app. The added benefit of downloading the desktop app is using the spotlight-style Launch Bar and Dial from anywhere.

To download the desktop app:

  • Open the Unleash Web App.

  • Click on Settings.

  • Click on App Upgrades.

  • On the Unleash for Desktop option, click Download Now.

Launch Bar

The Unleash lightweight spotlight-style launch bar can be pulled over any page you’re on to quickly ask questions, get answers, and search for resources without ever having to change windows. Thats productivity! You must install the desktop app to use the launch bar.

Activating the launch bar:

  • Ensure the Unleash desktop app is open. The app can be minimized, or you could be on another page; however, the app needs to be running.

  • Hit CMD + J (CTRL + J for Windows).

  • Click out to close.

Changing the keybinding for the Launch Bar

  • From the desktop app, click Settings.

  • Click Preferences.

  • Click inside the keyboard shortcut bar.

  • Hit CMD followed by your choice of letter (CTRL for Windows).

Dial

The Unleash Dial is a floating icon that appears on your screen when you have the desktop app installed. Clicking on the dial pulls up the launch bar so you can quickly search and locate the answer you need.

Good to know:

  • Drag the dial icon anywhere on your screen, so it doesn’t interfere with you while you work but is there when you need it.

  • Right-click on the dial to display additional actions.

    Desktop

    • Right-click on the dial.

    • Click Settings.

    • Click Preferences.

    • Toggle on/off Show Unleash Dial on Desktop.

Browser Extension

With the Unleash Browser Extension, you can open Unleash as a side panel from anywhere on the web. Use it to quickly chat with assistants, search for resources, and Go Links in your browser.

The extension is compatible with Chromium-based browsers, including Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge.

To install the Extension:

  • Open Unleash.

  • Click on Settings.

General navigation:

  • Pin the side panel to your toolbar for easy access anytime.

  • When the side panel is open, pin it to your webpage to keep it visible as you navigate. To close the panel, unpin or click the close button.

  • Use the icons in the left corner of the panel to switch between the Chat and Search pages.

Chat with Assistants:

  • Click on the Chat icon to interact with your chat assistants directly from the side panel.

  • If a previous thread exists, you will have the option to click the Resume Last Thread button that appears in the assistant. Clicking this button will reopen the most recent thread, displaying all previous messages, so you can seamlessly continue the conversation.

  • Click on the assistant’s panel on the bottom left to select a different chat assistant.

  • To customize an assistant's preferences, click the Preferences icon. This will open the assistant's settings in the Unleash web app.

  • Start a new conversation by selecting New Chat. While chat threads are not visible within the side panel, all conversations are saved as threads in the Chat page of the Unleash web app.
