Desktop tiles may contain shortcuts to either a favorite or an overview. Click a tile to open the overview or the application linked to the favorite.
The tile’s icon indicates whether it links to a favorite or an overview:
- The
icon identifies a link to a favorite. - A link to an overview is identified by the icon for the area where this overview is located (such as
