Ship landing

A full-page app with no sidebar presence: its container sets `sidebar: false`, so the rail icon opens the page directly in the editor area, and `reopenOnReveal` re-opens it on every click.

Use this shape when the app is a destination you go to, not a widget you glance at — boards, dashboards, editors. In Cowork: Create → App → Workbench app.

Create it

This template is built into Cowork Studio's Create dialog. Open Manage Workspace, pick the matching tab, click its Add button and choose Workbench app — name it, and the files land in your workspace ready to edit.
