In the sidebar, open **Administration**, then choose **Mobile App** under **Workspace**. The page address is `/settings/org/mobile-app`.

## Steps

1. Under **Android navigation**, pick tabs from **Available tabs** (use **Search tabs** to find one). They move to **Selected tabs**, which shows how many you have used out of the most the app allows. Drag a selected tab to change the order the app shows them along the bottom, or remove it from the list.
2. To go back to Nova's own tabs, press **Use system default**.
3. Turn **Allow personal Android tabs** on to let people change their own tabs from their profile preferences.
4. Press **Save settings**. Press **Discard changes** to undo.

## What you see

- **Effective organization default** shows the tabs everyone gets unless they chose their own.
- With no tabs selected, the page says **The Android app will use the system default.**

## If something looks different

- The page says you have read-only access: your role cannot change mobile app settings. Ask your admin.
