 ### Added
 
 - App mode: live workflows work in ComfyUI's App view. Each person keeps their own graph or App view through live edits, and App inputs sync. Cursors are off in the App view. Workflows saved as Apps (`.app.json`) show with an app icon in Files and in the Live list, and Save keeps them Apps
-- In the App view, where ComfyUI shows only its own sidebar tabs, a small dock at the bottom left opens the RigShare panel and Files in a drawer, with the unread chat badge
+- In the App view, where ComfyUI shows only its own sidebar tabs, RigShare adds **RigShare** and **Files** buttons to that sidebar, with the unread chat badge. They open the panels in a drawer beside it
 - ComfyUI's own Workflows and Apps sidebar tabs are hidden, since Files replaces them, and their shortcuts open Files. Admin setting `hide_comfy_file_tabs`, on by default

 - Two people editing the same node at once: the last change wins.
 - Two people adding or connecting nodes at the same moment both keep their work. If both picked the same node or link id, the server renumbers the later one and quietly resyncs that person. Links and groups merge one by one, so a connection made by one person never erases another's.
 
-**App mode.** Each person chooses for themselves whether a workflow shows as the node graph or as an App. Switching doesn't change anyone else's view, and live edits keep it. Inputs changed in the App view sync like any other widget value. The app's layout, meaning its chosen inputs and outputs, belongs to the workflow and syncs. Cursors aren't shown in the App view.
