FAQ

How do I make the Wrike Desktop App open the windows/tabs where I left off previously?

The Desktop app saves the last session when you quit the application (File > Exit or Quit the app in the toolbar notification area) and will open the same windows/tabs for you when you start the app again. Please note, that if your device shuts down while the app is running (also in the background), the windows/tabs you had open will NOT be saved and the app will start with the last saved session opened instead.
