After going to the settings section, scroll down the list to the block associated with appearance or the main page. This section may have different names in different versions, but most often it contains the keywords “Home”, “Start” or “Interface”. There is a switch here that activates or deactivates the display of visual bookmarks at startup.

Sometimes after enabling the option, tiles may not be displayed correctly or may be empty. This is because the old data cache has not yet been updated. Try closing the application through the task manager and opening it again. If the problem persists, it may be worth clearing the application cache through the system settings Android.

⚠️ Attention: In the latest updates of Yandex Browser, the Tableau generation algorithm has become more automatic. If you enabled the option, but the tiles do not appear, try visiting several of your favorite sites manually - the system may offer to add them automatically.

Content management and adding sites

After successfully enabling the function, a logical question arises: how to fill the freed up space with useful resources? Content management visual bookmarks is carried out directly from the Tableau screen. To add a new site, just click on the plus icon, which is usually located at the end of the list of tiles or in a special adding block.

Why the Tableau can disappear by itself

Situations when a customized panel disappears without user intervention are quite common and can be caused by various factors. One of the common reasons is an application update, during which some user preferences are reset or the logic of the interface changes. Developers can change the display priorities of elements in new versions.

Another possible reason is the lack of RAM on the device. In conditions of severe resource saving, the system Android or the browser itself can simplify the interface by disabling heavy visual elements. This is especially true for budget smartphones with a small amount of RAM, where every megabyte of memory counts.

It is also worth checking the energy saving settings. Aggressive battery saving modes may limit background app activity and prevent the start page from loading correctly. Try adding Yandex Browser to the list of exceptions of the energy saving system.

⚠️ Attention: If you use third-party launchers or themes, they may conflict with the native browser interface. Try temporarily disabling system customization to check if the Tableau is restored.

In rare cases, the problem lies in corrupted cache files. The accumulation of errors in temporary files can lead to incorrect display of graphic elements. Regularly clearing the cache through system settings helps prevent such failures and ensures stable operation of the software.

Customizing the appearance and size of tiles

The comfort of using the Tableau directly depends on how conveniently the elements are located on the screen of your specific device. Browser settings often contain options that allow you to change the grid size or the number of rows displayed. This is especially important for owners of smartphones with a non-standard screen aspect ratio.

To access these parameters, go to the section again Settings and find the item related to the scale or size of interface elements. Changing this parameter will increase the area of the tiles, which will make them easier to click on, or, conversely, reduce them to fit more sites on one screen.

• 🔍 Use the scaling function if the font under the icons is too small to read.
• 📐 Adjust the number of columns depending on the diagonal of your smartphone screen.
• 🎨 In some versions, you can change the Scoreboard theme to dark or light.

Adapting the interface to your needs significantly improves the ergonomics of work. If you often use the browser with one hand, it makes sense to adjust the location of the most important tiles at the bottom of the screen for easy access with your thumb.

Do not forget that the visual component affects not only convenience, but also the speed of information perception. Correctly selected size and contrast of icons allow you to instantly find the desired site without looking at the details. Experiment with the settings to find the perfect balance.

Solving problems with bookmark synchronization

One ​​of the key advantages of the Yandex ecosystem is the ability to synchronize data between devices. If you have set up Tableau on your computer, but it does not appear on your phone, the problem may be a lack of authorization. Make sure that you are logged into the same Yandex account on all your gadgets. To check the synchronization status, go to the user profile inside the browser. Typically, the profile icon is located at the top of the settings menu. It should indicate whether synchronization is enabled and what data is transferred between devices. Bookmarks and Tableaus must be checked. Yandex account on all your gadgets.

Path to check: Menu → Profile → Synchronization → Check checkboxes

Sometimes the synchronization process may freeze due to problems with the Internet connection. Try switching from mobile network to Wi-Fi or vice versa, and then force a refresh of the sync page. This will start a re-exchange of data with the server and should bring up the missing elements.

⚠️ Attention: The interface and available functions may vary slightly depending on the version of Android and the specific modification of Yandex Browser. Always check the Help section within the app for the latest help.
