# Desktop View

NotionApps provides a full-width desktop experience on larger devices such as laptops, monitors, etc. &#x20;

## Switch between mobile and desktop app previews

In the app builder, you can switch between mobile, desktop, and expanded previews for your application.&#x20;

{% hint style="success" %}
Tip: Use shortcut keys to open previews quickly: \
m → mobile view

d → desktop view

e -> open expanded view/close expanded view
{% endhint %}

<div data-full-width="true"><figure><img src="/files/TbXOq2G7NSt5b1YSTdHV" alt=""><figcaption><p>Mobile view</p></figcaption></figure></div>

<div data-full-width="false"><figure><img src="/files/4qxhEhxTRuKGTU8hzuAa" alt=""><figcaption><p>Click to expand to full-width</p></figcaption></figure></div>

<div data-full-width="true"><figure><img src="/files/NQCTAalNLJyFoHl2mCVJ" alt=""><figcaption><p>Full width view</p></figcaption></figure></div>

## Show mobile view on desktop devices

While the full-width desktop view is the default experience on larger devices, you can configure the app to show a mobile view on these devices. This can be useful for applications that are primarily mobile-only. Please follow this step-by-step guide to enable this behaviour:

1. Go to the app builder
2. Go to the settings of the app
3. Enable "*Show mobile view on desktop"*

4. Publish your application&#x20;

Now, you will see a mobile view if you open your application on a laptop or any other larger device.&#x20;
