# Continue widget > Reopen the documents edited most recently in your workspace straight from Home, with All documents one click away for everything else. Source: https://plexiidesk.com/help/home-widget-continue Section: Home dashboard > Home widgets Plans: All plans Updated: 2026-10-10 The Continue widget gets you back into your work in one click. It shows the documents edited most recently in the workspace you are in, newest first, under the title **Continue where you left off**. Use it to pick up the document you were writing yesterday, or the sheet you were half way through, without searching for it. ## Where you find it - **Home**, **Office Home** and **Brain Home** include Continue, at its Large size, when you start out. See [The Home dashboard](https://plexiidesk.com/help/home-dashboard). - It comes in two sizes: **Medium** shows your two most recent documents, and **Large** shows four. ## Before you start - The widget is on every plan. - It lists your Office documents, such as documents, spreadsheets and presentations, from the workspace you are in. When you switch to another workspace, it shows that workspace's documents. See [Organisation settings and switching workspaces](https://plexiidesk.com/help). - Archived documents and documents in the trash are left out. ## What it shows Each document is a tile with: - an icon for its kind - its title, or **Untitled** if it has none - its kind and how long ago it was last edited, for example **Spreadsheet, edited 2h ago** The time reads **just now**, then minutes (**m**), hours (**h**) and days (**d**), and after a week the date. When there are no documents yet, the widget says **Nothing to pick up yet. Create a document and it will wait for you here.** See [Create a document, sheet, deck, diagram, design or artwork](https://plexiidesk.com/help). ## Open a document 1. Click a tile. The document opens in its editor. 2. To see all your documents, click **All documents** at the top right of the widget. The Documents page opens. See [The Documents page](https://plexiidesk.com/help). ## Add it to a dashboard 1. Open the dashboard you want: **Home** in the side menu, or **Office Home**, **People Home** or **Brain Home** in those areas' menus.

It shows the current size (**MD** or **LG**), and each click switches to the other one. 3. To move the widget, press and drag it to a new spot. 4.

See [Customize your Home dashboard](https://plexiidesk.com/help/home-customize). ## Good ways to use it - **Start where you stopped.** Open Home and click the first tile to carry on with the last document you worked on. - **On Office Home.** Office Home starts with Continue beside the Office document widget, so the document you keep open and the ones you have just worked on sit together. - **Keep one document fixed.** Continue changes as you work. To keep a particular document on a dashboard, use the [Office document widget](https://plexiidesk.com/help/home-widget-office-document), or add it to a [Shortcuts widget](https://plexiidesk.com/help/home-widget-shortcuts). You can also star it. See [Find, star and pin your Office files](https://plexiidesk.com/help). ## Common questions **The document I want is not there.** Continue shows only the two or four most recently edited documents. Click **All documents** to see the rest, or search for it. See [Find, star and pin your Office files](https://plexiidesk.com/help). **Why are my desks not listed?** Continue lists documents only. To get back to a desk, use the [Rooms and desks widget](https://plexiidesk.com/help/home-widget-rooms-and-desks) or the [Where was I widget](https://plexiidesk.com/help/home-widget-where-was-i). **Why are my PDFs and other files not listed?** Continue lists Office documents. Other files are in Files. See [Files: your folders and files](https://plexiidesk.com/help). **A document from my other workspace is missing.** Continue shows the documents of the workspace you are in. Switch to the other workspace with the workspace switcher at the top of the side menu to see its documents. ## Related tasks - [The Documents page](https://plexiidesk.com/help) - [Find, star and pin your Office files](https://plexiidesk.com/help) - [Create a document, sheet, deck, diagram, design or artwork](https://plexiidesk.com/help) - [Office document widget](https://plexiidesk.com/help/home-widget-office-document) - [Recent activity widget](https://plexiidesk.com/help/home-widget-recent-activity) - [The Home dashboard](https://plexiidesk.com/help/home-dashboard)
