We’ve revamped the desktop app settings to make it easier for admins to configure Swif for their organization.

What’s new

• New “Workspace” settings section

  • A dedicated Workspace tab now appears in the desktop app’s Settings navigation.

  • Legacy sub‑tabs under Settings have been consolidated into this new structure for a cleaner, more organized experience.

• Organization & desktop customizations moved under Workspace

  • All desktop app and browser extension customization options that previously lived under Settings → General are now located in Settings → Workspace.

  • These controls have been removed from General to avoid duplication and confusion.

• Company Resources management for the desktop app

  • Under Settings → Workspace → Resources, org/workspace admins can now manage company resources that appear in the desktop app:

    • Add resources with an icon, title, URL, and optional description (per design).

    • Edit existing resources.

    • Delete resources that are no longer needed.

    • Multi‑tenant aware: each organization only sees and manages its own resources.

  • The UI supports:

    • Clear empty state when no resources are configured (with an “Add Resource” call‑to‑action).

    • Inline validation for required fields (Title and URL) and basic URL format checks.

    • Proper loading and error states around all resource API operations.

• Access control for admins

  • The Resources section is only available to authorized workspace admins:

    • Admins can view and manage the full list of resources.

    • Non‑admin users can’t add, edit, or delete resources and will not see resource management controls (or will see a clear “Not authorized” state, depending on context).

Why this matters

• Gives IT and workspace admins a single, consistent place to configure:

  • Desktop app & browser extension behavior.

  • The set of company links and resources employees see in the Swif desktop experience.

• Ensures each organization’s settings and resources are scoped correctly to its own workspace.
