# The Office Home page > Office Home is where PlexiiOffice opens: app tiles to start a file, templates, your recent files, today's schedule, quick actions and unread counts. Source: https://plexiidesk.com/help/office-home Section: Office > Office basics Plans: All plans Updated: 2026-10-15 Office Home is the page PlexiiOffice opens on. Its heading reads **PlexiOffice Home**. From here you can start a new file in any app, pick up a file you were working on, and see what is waiting for you today. ## Before you start - **Plans.** Office Home is on every plan. - **To open it,** click the **Apps** heading in the side menu, or press `⌘` `K` on a Mac (`Ctrl` `K` on Windows) and choose **PlexiOffice**. ## What is on the page From top to bottom: 1. **The header**, with **Create** at the right. 2. **The library buttons**: **All**, **Recent**, **Starred**, **Shared with me**, **Templates** and **Trash**. 3. **The app tiles**, one for each app. 4. **Start with a template.** 5. **Recent**, your latest files. 6. **The right-hand column** of cards, when the window is wide enough to show it. 7. **AI Assistant**, a bar across the bottom. ### Create **Create** at the top right makes a new, blank document called "Untitled document" and opens it in PlexiDocs. To start another kind of file, use an app tile or a template. See [Create a document, sheet, deck, diagram, design or artwork](https://plexiidesk.com/help/office-create-files). ### The library buttons These switch the main part of the page between views of your files. **All** is Office Home itself. The others are described in [Find, star and pin your Office files](https://plexiidesk.com/help/office-find-and-star-files), [Templates and starting points](https://plexiidesk.com/help/office-templates) and [Delete and restore Office files](https://plexiidesk.com/help/office-trash-and-restore). The heading follows the button you choose, for example **PlexiOffice Recent**. The app tiles and templates stay at the top of every view. ### The app tiles There is a tile for **PlexiDocs**, **PlexiSheets**, **PlexiSlides**, **PlexiDiagrams**, **PlexiDesign** and **PlexiDraw**. Clicking one makes a new, blank file in that app and opens it. After them come tiles that open an app instead of making a file: **PlexiMeet** to start a meeting, then **Browser**, **Files** and **Vault**. A tile only appears when that app is available to you. ### Start with a template A row of starting points, one per app, with buttons to narrow the row: **All**, **Docs**, **Sheets**, **Slides**, **Diagrams**, **Designs** and **Artwork**. Click a template to make a new file from it. See [Templates and starting points](https://plexiidesk.com/help/office-templates). ### Recent Your twelve most recently edited files, newest first. Each row shows the file's **Name**, its **Type** and, under **Last opened**, how long ago it last changed. - **Click a row** to open the file. - **Tabs above the list** narrow it to **Docs**, **Sheets**, **Slides** or **Draw**. **Draw** lists your diagrams. - **The star** at the end of a row stars the file. See [Find, star and pin your Office files](https://plexiidesk.com/help/office-find-and-star-files). - **The bin** at the end of a row moves the file to the trash. See [Delete and restore Office files](https://plexiidesk.com/help/office-trash-and-restore). - **Drag a row** onto a desk's tab in the strip above the footer to put the file on that desk. See [Put a document, spreadsheet or deck on a desk](https://plexiidesk.com/help/office-put-files-on-desks). If you have no files yet, the list says **Nothing here yet.** ## The right-hand column These cards appear when the window is wide enough. The first three are on Office Home only. | Card | What it shows | | --- | --- | | **Your day in PlexiOffice** | Today's time blocks, up to six, with their start times. With nothing booked it says **Nothing scheduled today.** | | **Quick actions** | **Compose email**, **New document**, **New spreadsheet**, **New presentation** and **Start a meeting**. Compose email and Start a meeting appear when Mail and Meet are available to you. | | **Unread** | How many unread items you have in **Inbox**, **Chat messages** and **Mail**. Click a row to open that app. When everything is read it says **You are all caught up.** | | **Pinned** | Up to five of your starred files, one click from opening. Until you star something it says **Star files to pin them here.** | | **Storage** | How many files are in this workspace, and that they are stored on this device. | | **What's new** | The three latest PlexiDesk releases. | The card at the bottom, **Get more with PlexiOffice Pro**, opens a window for upgrading to the Pro plan. See [What each plan includes](https://plexiidesk.com/help/plan-features). ## AI Assistant The bar across the bottom of the page opens Plexii, the assistant, so you can ask about your documents, data or presentations. Click **Ask AI**. See [Meet Plexii, your assistant](https://plexiidesk.com/help/ai-assistant). ## Make room The PlexiiOffice side menu can be minimised to give the page the full width of the window. A small **PlexiOffice** button then appears at the top left; click it to bring the menu back. ## Common questions **Office Home looks different from my Home dashboard. Are they connected?** No. Office Home is PlexiiOffice's start page for files. Your Home dashboard is a separate page you arrange with widgets. See [The Home dashboard](https://plexiidesk.com/help/home-dashboard). **Why is the right-hand column missing?** It is shown only when the window is wide enough. Make the window wider, or minimise the side menu. **A file I opened today is not at the top of Recent.** Recent is ordered by when each file last changed, so a file you only read keeps its place. ## Related tasks - [PlexiiOffice: your office suite](https://plexiidesk.com/help/office-overview) - [Create a document, sheet, deck, diagram, design or artwork](https://plexiidesk.com/help/office-create-files) - [Templates and starting points](https://plexiidesk.com/help/office-templates) - [Find, star and pin your Office files](https://plexiidesk.com/help/office-find-and-star-files) - [Delete and restore Office files](https://plexiidesk.com/help/office-trash-and-restore)
