Organize and Customize Your Home Screen

Make your Home page your own by organizing your projects in the way you like and adding colors.

🗒️ NOTE: All settings on this page are individual to you. Other users will not see how you organize your projects or the colors you have added.

Organizing your Projects

You can personalize your Basecamp Home screen by pinning your important projects and stacking similar projects. You'll see those pinned projects and project stacks at the top, followed by your recently visited projects. Up to 20 of these recent projects will be neatly organized in alphabetical order.

The changes you make won't be visible to others in your account, so go on — pin and stack your projects in a way that makes sense to you!

Pinning

You can pin your projects for quick access, and there's no limit to the number of projects you can pin.

There are a few ways to pin projects to the top of your Home page:

  • Drag and drop a project from Recently visited to the top part of your Home page:

  • On the Home screen, click the gray pushpin in the upper right corner of a recently visited project:

  • From within a project, click the ••• menu, then Pin to Home:

Once projects pinned, they can be moved around your Home screen so they make sense for you. Drag and drop your pinned projects and project stacks into the order you want them.

Project stacks

In addition to pinning, you can organize your projects into tidy stacks. Project stacks sit alongside your pinned projects, up top, and you can move them around the same way you move projects.

To create a stack, drag a project on top of another:

You can drag a recently visited project on top of another to create a stack. This way, the new stack will move up top, and your projects will be pinned automatically.

To move a project out, open the stack and drag the project out of it:

  1. Click the title of the stack to edit your Stack
  2. Click the Empty link at the bottom.
  3. All projects will be removed from the stack and unpinned:
