To help improve the app exploration and discovery experience for users, beginning in April 2022, the Office App Launcher, All Apps (http://office.com/apps), and app search experiences will be updated to only list relevant Dynamics 365 apps, Power Apps apps, and Azure Active Directory integrated apps. Microsoft 365 applications listed in these experiences will not be affected.

Following this update, Dynamics 365 apps, Power Apps apps, and Azure AD integrated apps need to meet one of the following criteria to be listed in the Office App Launcher, All Apps, and app search experiences:

Power Apps and Dynamics 365 apps:
Apps a user has launched in the last 7 days
Apps created by a user
Apps an admin has marked as ‘featured’ in the tenant
User accessible Microsoft published Dynamics 365 apps
Dynamics 365 apps or Power Apps apps that meet the above criteria will be shown in the App Launcher, the Business Apps section of the All Apps experience, and in app search results. Note that the time between when an app is shared with a user and when it appears in an Office experience can be up to 24 hours.

Azure AD Integrated Apps:
Apps an admin or user has added to an Azure AD collection
Azure AD integrated apps meeting the criteria above will be shown grouped by collection name in the All Apps experiences, as well as individually listed in the App Launcher and in app search results. The All Apps section of the All Apps experience will be removed as the more relevant Azure AD apps will already be listed under their collection name. A link to the My Apps portal where users can create Azure AD collections will be added to the All Apps experiences as part of this update.
