The SharePoint Apps Site/App Catalog
A SharePoint Online tutorial by Peter Kalmström
An
app catalog/Apps site is a type of site collection that
is used for storing client side extensions and web parts
for your organization's internal use.
Microsoft has changed the behaviour in SharePoint Online,
so now an app catalog is automatically created the first
time a Global or SharePoint admin clicks on Apps >Open
under 'More features' in the SharePoint Admin center. It
is now called Apps site instead of app catalog.
We have still decided to keep the demo below, as Peter Kalmström
also describes how to reach the app catalog and how it looks
and works. That has not changed.
The name "app catalog" is found in the site's URL, but when
you add an app from the SharePoint Store to the app catalog,
you should use a button with the text 'Add to Apps site'.
"Apps site" is also used in some Microsoft documentation.
That is why we use both names in the heading of this article.
