+title: New tab page
+description: The launchpad shown when you open an Explorer or a new workbook tab — search and browse view groups, views, workbooks, certified queries, and source tables to start a report.
+---
+
+When you open an Explorer or add a new tab in a [workbook](/docs/explore-analyze/workbooks),
+Cube shows the **new tab page** — a single launchpad for starting a report. From here you can
+search across your data model, browse starting points by type, or jump straight to pasting a
+query, asking an AI agent, or uploading a file.
+
+## Searching and browsing
+
+A search box sits at the top of the launchpad. Typing filters every category at once, and the
+count next to each category updates to the number of matches.
+
+The category selector lets you switch between starting-point types:
+
+- **View groups** — browse [view groups](/docs/data-modeling/view-groups) as folders. Drilling
+  into a group reveals its sub-groups and views.
+- **Views** — every [view](/docs/data-modeling/views) in the model. Search also matches a view's
+  measures and dimensions; when a view matches through a member, the row notes which one.
+- **Workbooks** — existing [workbooks](/docs/explore-analyze/workbooks) you can open as a starting
+  point.
+- **Certified queries** — trusted, pre-approved queries (see
+  [Certified queries](/admin/ai/certified-queries)).
+- **Source tables** — raw tables from your connected
+  [data sources](/admin/connect-to-data/data-sources/index), browsable by data source and schema.
+
+Click through the list to drill down to an individual view, report, or table. Once you reach a
+starting point, the data model sidebar activates so you can continue building your query there.
+
+## Starting from a pasted query, an agent, or a file
+
+The launchpad also offers shortcuts at the bottom:
+
+- **Paste semantic SQL query** — opens the SQL panel so you can paste a semantic SQL query. The
+  dropdown adds **Paste source SQL query** (raw data-source SQL), **Paste JSON query** (a
+  [REST API query](/reference/core-data-apis/rest-api/query-format)), and **Paste GraphQL query** (a
+  [GraphQL API query](/reference/core-data-apis/graphql-api)) — the JSON and GraphQL queries are
+  converted to a semantic query for you.
+- **Ask Cube agent** — opens the chat sidebar so you can describe the report you want in natural
+  language.
+- **Upload file** — opens the file upload flow.
+
+## Configuring the launchpad
+
+Administrators can tailor the launchpad per deployment under **Settings → Configuration**, in the
+**Workbooks and Explore** section. Two settings are available.
+
+### Available tabs
+
+Choose which categories appear on the launchpad. **View groups** and **Views** are always shown
+and cannot be turned off; **Workbooks**, **Certified queries**, and **Source tables** can each be
+enabled or disabled to simplify the starting points your users see.
+
+### Default view group
+
+Set a **default view group** so the launchpad opens inside a specific top-level view group instead
+of listing all of them — useful for steering users toward a curated set of governed starting
+points.
+
+<Steps>
+  <Step title="Open deployment settings">
+    Go to **Settings → Configuration** for your deployment.
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Choose the available tabs and default group">
+    In the **Workbooks and Explore** section, select the tabs to show and, optionally, enter the
+    **name** of the view group the launchpad should open inside. Leave the group empty to show all
+    view groups. Save your changes.
+  </Step>
+</Steps>
+
+When a default view group is set, new Explorer and workbook tabs open inside that group. You can
+still navigate up to **All view groups** to browse everything. If the configured group no longer
+exists, the launchpad falls back to showing all categories.
