Manage apps using the Apps site

  • Artikkeli

As a SharePoint Administrator or above in Microsoft 365, you can acquire solutions from the SharePoint Store or distribute custom apps that can be used across SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, and Viva Connections.

For information about your options for developing custom apps for SharePoint, see Overview of the SharePoint Framework and SharePoint add-ins.

Important

Starting April 2, 2026, SharePoint add-ins will be retired for SharePoint in Microsoft 365 and users will no longer be able to use SharePoint add-ins. Installing SharePoint add-ins from the SharePoint Store will not be possible as of July 1, 2024. Learn more about the retirement of add-ins.

Add apps from the SharePoint Store

When you add an app from the SharePoint Store to the Apps site, you make it available for site owners to add from the My apps page.

  1. Go to the More features page in the SharePoint admin center and select Open under Apps.

  2. On the Manage apps page, select SharePoint Store in the left pane.

  3. Search for an app or select a category to scroll through available apps.

  4. Select an app you want to add. In some cases, adding the app might be supported in the SharePoint Store classic experience only.

  5. Select Add to Apps site.

  6. Some apps can be added to all sites in the organization so that site owners don't have to. If you want to do this, select Enable this app and add it to all sites.

  7. Select Add.

  8. If the app requires additional permissions, a message appears. Go to API access page in SharePoint admin Center to approve the permission requests.

Add custom apps

When you upload a custom app to the Apps site, it's available for users to install when they browse apps under From Your Organization.

  1. Go to More features in the SharePoint admin center, and sign in with an account that has admin permissions for your organization.
