# App Mode

> Choose the default app experience, Classic or AI, that new users land in until they pick one themselves.

# App Mode

Collate supports two app experiences:

* **Classic**
* **AI**

Each user can switch between them from their own app mode toggle. App Mode decides which experience a user lands in the first time, before they've made that choice themselves, so it shapes the first impression Collate makes on every new teammate you invite.

**Purpose and Benefits**

* **Purpose**: Set which app mode, Classic or AI, new users land in by default.
* **Benefits**: Controls the first impression Collate makes on every new teammate you invite.

## How to Configure

To set the App Mode, follow the steps below:

1. Navigate to **Settings** > **Preferences** > **App Mode**.

2. Choose one of the following options:

   * **No Default**: Users land in the Classic experience unless a persona or their own preference says otherwise.
   * **Classic**: Users without a personal or persona-level mode land in the Classic experience.
   * **AI**: Users without a personal or persona-level mode land in the AI experience.

3. Click **Save**.

A user's own app mode choice, and any persona-level app mode, both take precedence over this tenant default.
