  • Top band or the Top navigation bar new  - This location can be used to render an extension that functions at the org level. For example, to create checklist templates for your organization, you have to access the Checklist extension from the top navigation bar and configure the templates.

You can create to-do lists for a task, attach files from your Google account to the task, and associate a Zendesk ticket with your task respectively.
