9Unified Claude combines Chat and Cowork into one experience in Claude Desktop 3P. Users get a single Claude interface for both quick chats and longer agentic tasks. [Code](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/code) stays separate.

2727* **Enterprise Admin Console**: Go to Capabilities and toggle on "Opt into the new Chat and Cowork unified view."
28* **MDM or a bootstrap server**: For MDM and bootstrap deployments, the [`desktopHome`](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/configuration#desktophome) key controls Unified Claude. Create and set `desktopHome` to `standard` in your [MDM profile](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/mdm) or [bootstrap response](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/bootstrap). Claude Desktop reads a value it doesn't recognize as `off`. Remove the key to disable the Unified Claude experience.
