Use GitKraken Launchpad to monitor pull requests, issues, and works in progress (WIPs) across a selected Workspace or team. Use this page to open Launchpad, connect integrations, switch between Personal and Team Views, save filtered views, and check which features differ between Cloud and On-Premise environments.
Launchpad is also available in GitKraken On-Premise, with some differences. See How On-Premise Launchpad differs from Cloud Launchpad.
GitKraken On-Premise users: Step 3 below requires a Cloud Workspace, which is not available in Serverless or Self-Hosted Server deployments. Skip step 3 and connect your on-premises integrations (GitHub Enterprise Server, GitLab Self-Managed, Bitbucket Server, Azure DevOps Server, or Jira Data Center) in Preferences > Integrations instead. For a full description of Launchpad feature differences in on-premises environments, see How On-Premise Launchpad differs from Cloud Launchpad.
Quick Start
- Click the Launchpad tab in the top-left corner of GitKraken Desktop.
- Connect your integrations via Preferences > Integrations, or follow the in-app prompts.
- Select a Cloud Workspace from the dropdown to filter activity to specific repositories.
- Use the Pull Requests, Issues, WIPs, or All tabs to view relevant items.
- Toggle between Personal View (items assigned to or created by you) and Team View (items from others) using the toggle in the top-right.
To prioritize items:
- Click the pin icon to keep a PR or issue at the top of the list.
- Click the snooze icon to hide an item temporarily. Snoozed items appear in the Snoozed tab.
To save a filtered view for reuse, click the + Save View icon in the Launchpad tab bar and name it. Saved views are tied to the mode (Personal or Team) in which they were created.
How to get started with Launchpad
To open Launchpad:
- Click the Launchpad tab in the top-left corner of GitKraken Desktop.
- Connect your integrations via Preferences > Integrations, or follow the in-app prompts for specific providers.
The Pull Requests and Issues tabs require you to sign in to your GitKraken account. If you are signed out, these tabs show Sign In to Use Launchpad with Sign Up and Sign In buttons. The WIPs, All, and Snoozed tabs work without signing in.
How to set up Workspaces and integrations
Select a Cloud Workspace in Launchpad to see WIPs, issues, and PRs for that Workspace’s repositories:
- Create a Cloud Workspace.
- Return to Launchpad and select the Workspace from the dropdown.
Use the Launchpad tabs to choose what you see:
- Pull Requests: Open PRs in the selected Workspace’s repositories.
- Issues: Active issues.
- WIPs: Repositories with uncommitted changes.
- All: Pull requests, issues, and WIPs together.
Note: Cloud Workspaces are not available in GitKraken On-Premise. As a result, Launchpad does not show Cloud Workspace data in those environments. See How On-Premise Launchpad differs from Cloud Launchpad.
Pin or snooze items to control what you see first:
- Click the icon to pin PRs or issues to the top.
- Click the icon to snooze a PR. Launchpad moves snoozed items to the Snoozed tab.
How Personal View works
Personal View shows pull requests and issues that:
- You created
- Are assigned to you
- List you as a reviewer
- Mention you
If you select None in the Workspace dropdown, Personal View still shows your items from all connected services.
How Team View works
Note: Team View requires an Advanced plan or higher. Team View depends on Cloud Workspaces, so it is not available in GitKraken On-Premise.
Switch to Team View with the toggle in the top-right corner of Launchpad. Team View shows pull requests and issues that involve other people:
- Created by others
- Assigned to others
- With others listed as reviewers or mentioned
Filter by user to see specific collaborators’ activity.
Team View shows your team’s work across all repositories in the selected Workspace.
How to save and reuse Launchpad views
You can save customized views by clicking the Save View icon in the Launchpad tab bar.
To delete a saved view:
- Select the view.
- Navigate to View Settings > Delete this view.
A saved view appears only in the mode (Team or Personal) where you created it.
Note: Saved Views are not available in GitKraken On-Premise clients.
How to work with pull requests in Launchpad
From Launchpad, you can take these actions on pull requests:
- Open PR in the browser
- View the repository
- Open Code Suggestions (if available)
- Review Pull Request, which opens the pull request in GitKraken Code Review on GitKraken.dev (GitHub, GitLab, and Azure DevOps pull requests; not available in GitKraken On-Premise)
- Checkout PR branch
- Close PR
- Checkout in New Worktree
Use Checkout in New Worktree when you want to review or continue pull request work in a separate working directory. For more information, see Manage Git Worktrees in GitKraken Desktop. If you want to use coding agents in those worktrees, see Coding Agents in GitKraken Desktop.
What the pull request table columns mean
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Last Updated | Timestamp of the most recent activity on the pull request. |
| Status | PR status (such as Open, Draft, or At Risk), review state, and build status. |
| PR Title | Pull request title with a link to the host, line diffs, and code suggestion indicators. |
| Author(s) | PR creators. |

How GitHub pull requests work in Launchpad
If your Workspace uses GitHub.com, click the Open Pull Request Panel icon in a pull request’s row to see its details in Launchpad.
How to work with issues in Launchpad
Launchpad supports multiple issue trackers including Jira, GitHub Issues, Azure DevOps, and Trello.
To start a coding agent on an issue that has no linked branch:
- Click Start an Agent Session in the issue’s actions.
- In the dialog, review the Repository, Branch name, Base branch, and Coding agent.
- Leave Send issue context to start immediately selected (the default) to give the agent the issue’s details so it can start working right away.
For more information, see How to start an agent session from a work item.
To customize your view:
- Switch providers from the Issues section dropdown.
- Connect integrations under Preferences > Integrations.
- Filter issues by creator, assignee, mentions, and labels.
How to view works in progress in Launchpad
The WIPs tab shows uncommitted changes in the repositories of your selected Workspace.
To open a repository with changes, click next to it.
How the All tab works
The All tab combines pull requests, issues, and WIPs for all repositories in the selected Workspace.
How the Snoozed tab works
The Snoozed tab lists the pull requests and issues you have snoozed. To unsnooze an item, click the icon again.
Note: Snoozing is available only with a paid GitKraken subscription.
How to filter by milestones and sprints
You can filter Launchpad issues and pull requests by:
- Jira Fix Versions and Sprints
- GitHub and GitLab Milestones
Launchpad summary
The status bar shows a Launchpad summary of your pull requests, grouped by status.
- Click the summary indicator to open Launchpad with the matching status group expanded.
- The summary uses the filters set in the Launchpad tab.

| Cloud Workspaces | ✅ | ❌ |
| Snoozing/Pinning | ✅ | ❌ |
| Team View | ✅ | ❌ |
| Issue/PR Filtering | ✅ | ✅ |
