Mark and unmark an item as favourite
You can mark contacts and work items with a star to flag them as favourite. Starring is personal: only you see your own stars, and it doesn't change your access rights or your notifications for the item. To control notifications instead, follow or unfollow the item; read Follow and unfollow an element.
The star is available for contacts and for:
- Activities
- Deliverables and milestones
- Documents
- EMDocs
- Folders
What starring does
- Dashboard: your starred activities, deliverables, milestones and documents appear as buttons in the Starred bar at the top of your Dashboard. Click one to open it straight away. Items you open from there more often and more recently move to the front.
Starred documents, EMDocs and folders also show in the Favorites tab of Documents. Starred contacts also show in the Favorites tab of Contacts. Starred activities, deliverables and milestones also get a highlighted star in the Workplan Kanban, list and feed views, so you can spot them at a glance.

Use stars as your personal shortcut list, e.g. for the work packages you lead, the next deliverable and the documents you edit every week. Remove the star when you no longer need the shortcut.

Star a contact
Hover over a contact card or row in Contacts and click the star icon to mark or unmark it as favourite.
Star an item
💡 Note: You need access to an item to see it, and therefore to star or unstar it. Starring has no effect on your access rights.
Two ways to star or unstar an item:
Method 1: In the sidebar
- Open the item in the sidebar (click it once).
- Click the star icon at the top right of the sidebar, next to the follow icon, to mark or unmark it as favourite.

Method 2: Quick hover action
In the Kanban or list view of Workplan, in Documents or in Contacts, hover over the card or row and click the star icon.
