We are excited to announce new improvements on the SharePoint Store at the Microsoft 365. Given the worldwide success of SharePoint Framework<\/a>, we are making significant additional investments on improving the acquisition and deployment experiences for apps powered by SharePoint Framework. This will be a step-by-step journey which will make the SharePoint Framework solutions more easily available for end users and administrators across the Microsoft 365.<\/p>\n

SharePoint Framework is widely used extensibility model in Microsoft 365<\/span>\u00a0with\u00a0tens of millions of end users each month for the custom components<\/strong> built by developers. It\u2019s the easiest way to get build extensibility for\u00a0Microsoft 365<\/span> and it\u2019s taken advantage by thousands of partners and customers on building custom experiences for end users. SharePoint Framework solutions are automatically hosted for free in Microsoft 365 with automatic single sign-on and consistent developer experience for extending Microsoft Viva, Microsoft Teams and SharePoint<\/strong> using industry standard web stack tooling. Simple, but extremely powerful with Microsoft Graph API access and more.<\/p>\n

Today we are pleased to announce first step on this journey with the modernized experience for SharePoint Store and acquire<\/strong> experience on the SharePoint side. We are now heavily investing on this area, so much much more to come \ud83d\ude80<\/p>\n

Get started!<\/h2>\n

Apps for SharePoint are small, easy-to-use, stand-alone applications that perform tasks or address specific business needs. You can add apps to your site to customize it with specific functionality or to display information such as time and expense tracking. Or you could add apps that perform various document-based tasks. You can also add apps that display news or information from third-party websites or that connect to social websites.<\/p>\n

The new tabbed layout\u00a0for\u00a0SharePoint apps<\/strong>, shown below, makes it easier and faster to get apps from a variety of sources.<\/p>\n

For example, if your organization has developed custom apps for internal business use or\u00a0has\u00a0allowed some store apps, you can add these by browsing the\u00a0My Apps\u00a0page<\/strong>. You may also be able to request or add new apps from third-party developers by browsing the\u00a0SharePoint Store<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Conversely, to see only apps available in the SharePoint Store, select\u00a0SharePoint Store<\/strong>\u00a0on the left.<\/p>\n

Request an app from the SharePoint Store<\/h2>\n

After\u00a0exploring in\u00a0SharePoint Store,\u00a0you can acquire more apps. Go\u00a0to\u00a0the app\u00a0details page\u00a0and\u00a0Request\u00a0<\/strong>it directly, and you\u00a0will need approval from\u00a0an admin of the\u00a0tenant-level app catalog to continue with the installation.<\/p>\n

Notice that there is no change in the permission model of acquiring apps: only those users who have the appropriate permission level can add apps to a site. Typically, Full Control permission (or membership in the Site Owners group) is the minimum requirement. By default, SharePoint is configured to allow those users to get or request apps from the SharePoint Store. For information on how to change the option in the tenant level app catalog, see Configure SharePoint Store Settings<\/a>.<\/p>\n
