Overview

Global Favorites is a powerful Quick Access feature that shows you favorited snippets from all your joined workspaces-not just your current one. This means you can instantly access your most important snippets regardless of which workspace or team you’re currently working in. Think of it as your personal “best of” collection that follows you everywhere.

​
Why Global Favorites Matter

When you work across multiple workspaces and teams:
  • Unified Access: See favorites from all workspaces in one place
  • Cross-Team Efficiency: Access snippets without switching workspaces
  • Personal Library: Build a collection of your most-used snippets
  • Context-Free Work: Don’t worry about which workspace a snippet lives in
  • Time Savings: No more “Where did I save that snippet?” moments

​
How It Works

​
Step-by-Step Guide

​
1. Favorite Snippets Across Workspaces

First, mark snippets as favorites:
  • In the main Snippets AI app, open any snippet
  • Click the ⭐ star icon to favorite it
  • Do this across multiple workspaces
You can favorite snippets from:
  • Your personal workspace
  • Team workspaces (work, projects, etc.)
  • Public workspaces you’ve joined

​
2. Open Quick Access

Press Option + Space (Mac) or Ctrl + Space (Windows/Linux).

​
3. Navigate to Global Favorites Tab

In Quick Access, you’ll see several tabs at the top:
  • All: All snippets from current workspace
  • Favorites: Favorites from current workspace only
  • Global Favorites ⭐: Favorites from all workspaces
Click on the Global Favorites tab.

​
4. Browse Your Cross-Workspace Favorites

You’ll see all favorited snippets from every workspace you’ve joined:
  • Personal workspace favorites
  • Team workspace favorites
  • Public workspace favorites
Each snippet shows which workspace it belongs to.

​
5. Insert Any Favorite

Search or scroll to find the snippet you need:
  • Press Enter to insert it
  • Works regardless of your current workspace context

​
Understanding the Favorites Hierarchy

​
Local Favorites (Favorites Tab)

  • Shows favorites from your current workspace only
  • Fast and focused when you know the snippet is in current workspace
  • Best for workspace-specific workflows

​
Global Favorites (Global Favorites Tab)

  • Shows favorites from all joined workspaces
  • Comprehensive view of everything you’ve starred
  • Best when you don’t remember which workspace has the snippet

​
All Tab

  • Includes favorited and non-favorited snippets
  • Best for exploratory browsing

Best Practices

Star Strategically: Only favorite snippets you use frequently. Too many favorites defeats the purpose.
Use Across Contexts: Favorite snippets that you need regardless of which workspace you’re in (templates, common responses, etc.).
Regular Cleanup: Periodically review and unstar snippets you no longer use often.
Combine with Search: Use Global Favorites tab and then search within it for fastest access.

​
The “Contextual” Workflow

​
Troubleshooting

​
Snippet Not Appearing in Global Favorites

If a favorited snippet doesn’t show:
  1. Verify it’s actually starred (check in main app)
  2. Ensure you’ve joined the workspace where it lives
  3. Refresh Quick Access (close and reopen)

​
Too Many Favorites

If Global Favorites feels overwhelming:
  1. Review and unstar less-used snippets
  2. Use search within Global Favorites instead of browsing
  3. Create a more selective favoriting strategy

​
Workspace Access Issues

If you can’t see favorites from a workspace:
  1. Verify you’re still a member of that workspace
  2. Check if workspace admin removed your access
  3. Ensure workspace wasn’t deleted
