Lightning apps in App Manager

Key Takeaway

A Lightning app sets the items in the navigation bar, and you manage it from the App Manager. Upgrading a Classic app creates a separate copy, so changes to one version never show up in the other.

A Lightning app is a named bundle of objects, tabs and other items. It appears in the navigation bar in Lightning Experience, so each group of users sees the tools they use most. Admins create, edit, clone and upgrade apps from the App Manager in Setup.

Apps and the navigation bar

An app is a collection of items that work together to serve a particular function. In Lightning Experience, the navigation bar at the top of the page is always present, but its items change based on which app the user has open. Users switch apps from the App Launcher.

Lightning apps go further than Classic apps. With a Lightning app, you can:

  • Brand the app with a custom color and logo.
  • Add a utility bar.
  • Include Lightning page tabs and utilities like Lightning Voice.
