Desktop

This button will launch the Desktop Interface of the catalog system.

A SmartCatalog Experience Management page showing various navigation tiles, with the  Desktop tile highlighted under the Control Panel section.

This is the interface that allows a taskbar at the bottom of the window and a start button that allows navigation throughout the system similarly to this dashboard.

A Launchpad page showing shortcut tiles for Content Editor, Media Library, Recycle Bin, Search, Workbox, Control Panel, Security Tools, Reporting Tools, and All Applications, displayed above the Windows taskbar.

Using this interface allows you to have multiple windows open simultaneously, for example, you can have the Media Library open as well as a Workbox window open while working in the Content Editor.  Toggling back and forth between these windows does not refresh the window each time and enables you to keep your place while working if needed.
