How to Use Make.com Grid View

The new Grid View in make.com gives you a faster, clearer way to see and open your most-used tools, workspaces, and key usage data. This guide walks you through how to turn on the Grid, customize it to your needs, and take full advantage of its new navigation layout.

What Is the Make.com Grid View?

The Grid View is a redesigned home experience in make.com that focuses on quick access and visibility. Instead of a purely list-based dashboard, the Grid shows your apps, tools, and workspaces as tiles so you can find what you need at a glance.

It also brings important information, such as your current subscription plan details and usage metrics, directly into the main interface, so you do not have to dig into separate menus.

How to Turn On Grid View in Make.com

The Grid View is being rolled out gradually. If it is available to you, you can switch it on from within your account in just a few clicks.

Step-by-step: Enable Grid View in Make.com

  1. Sign in to your make.com account.

  2. Open your avatar menu in the top-right corner.

  3. Look for a toggle or option related to the new Grid or dashboard layout.

  4. Enable the Grid View and confirm any prompt to switch to the new interface.

If you do not see the option yet, the rollout may not have reached your account. In that case, keep using the existing layout until the new Grid is enabled for your profile.

Understanding the Make.com Header Navigation

Once Grid View is enabled, you will notice a new header navigation bar at the top of make.com. This header centralizes key information and makes it easy to confirm you are in the right workspace and plan.

Key elements in the new Make.com header

  • Plan details: A visible summary of the plan your organization is on, including basic usage information.

  • Workspace context: Clear labels and quick access to switch between different workspaces.

  • User menu and settings: Direct access to profile, organization, and configuration options.

The goal of this new header in make.com is to reduce friction. You can immediately see which environment you are working in, how much of your plan you have used, and where to go for settings, without leaving the main Grid screen.

Using Grid Cards in Make.com

The main area of Grid View is built from cards. Each card represents a different part of your make.com experience and is designed to surface the most relevant data and actions.

Types of cards in the Make.com Grid

  • App and tool cards: Quick launch tiles for your most-used integrations and automation tools.

  • Workspace cards: Tiles representing different workspaces or teams within your account.

  • Plan and usage card: A card showing your current plan and how much of it you have used so far.

The content and arrangement of these cards are based on data and testing. The make.com team used customer insights and usability research to decide which information should appear first, and how it should be grouped.

How to interact with cards in Make.com Grid View

  1. Hover over a card to see available actions, such as opening a workspace or configuration page.

  2. Click a card to drill down into that particular area, for example a specific workspace or app.

  3. Use any contextual menu (three-dot or similar icon) to access secondary options when available.

This interaction model keeps the Grid clean but powerful. The most important action is always visible, while advanced options stay close at hand without cluttering the layout.

Viewing Plan and Usage Data Inside Make.com

One of the biggest changes in the new interface is that plan and usage information is visually integrated into Grid View. You no longer have to search through separate settings pages in make.com to understand how your subscription is being used.

What you can see at a glance

  • Your current plan type and limits.

  • Key usage metrics, such as progress toward limits.

  • Visual indicators that help you spot when you are nearing thresholds.

This design makes it easier for team owners and admins to manage subscriptions and plan upgrades. Instead of reactive checks, you get an ongoing overview directly on your main screen.

Why Make.com Redesigned the Grid

The new Grid View is not just a visual refresh. It responds to common usage patterns in make.com and aims to reduce friction across everyday tasks.

Goals behind the Make.com Grid project

  • Faster navigation: Reduce the time it takes to reach your most-used apps and workspaces.

  • Better clarity: Make it obvious which workspace, plan, and environment you are in.

  • Higher visibility: Surface critical information, such as plan usage and workspace context, in the header and cards.

  • Scalability: Provide a structure that can host new tools and features as make.com evolves.

The team applied data analysis, user interviews, and iterative testing to understand what users search for most often and which items they want to see first when they open the platform.

Tips to Get the Most from Make.com Grid View

Once you have enabled the new layout, you can make a few simple adjustments to get more value from it day to day.

Practical usage tips

  • Check your header first: When you sign in, verify that you are in the correct workspace and plan using the make.com header.

  • Use Grid cards as a launchpad: Start your work from the Grid instead of from deep menus, so you always have context for what you open.

  • Monitor usage regularly: Use the plan and usage card to stay aware of consumption trends over time.

  • Share feedback: Because this is a new interface, your feedback helps shape how the Grid evolves.
