I have built a workshop widget using OSDK to act as the homepage for our organisation. So currently on opening our instance. it opens the Workshop with the embedded OSDK app, which allows us to navigate to the rest of our apps.
The problem is, when changing the homepage to this carbon, it removes the foundry sidebar to access search, ontology, files etc. This is essential for us as it provides a quick way to start working on required tasks.
Is there a way to keep my custom carbon landing page but maintain the standard sidebar.
One option you have is to use a Workshop module at the top level and embed a Carbon workspace in an iframe. You’ll lose the URL updating from Carbon in case deep linking to a specific tab is important for your workflow.
Carbon is intended to be a focused workflow without easy access to the broader Foundry platform and the sidebar is intentionally not available.
It’s possible you don’t really need Carbon at all and can simply allow the navigation events to open new browser tabs. Carbon does have some advantage of shared caching across tabs which you’d miss out on if moving to this but if you have a fast network connection this may not be important.
