App Catalog Options

The Compliance Tracker 365 application can be deployed to either a Tenant App Catalog or a Site Collection App Catalog. The sections below will help you decide which option best fits your organization.

🌐 Tenant App Catalog

The Tenant App Catalog is a central location for administrators to manage and deploy custom apps.

  • There is only one Tenant App Catalog per tenant.
  • Apps deployed here are available to all sites across the tenant.
How to Deploy to the Tenant App Catalog

If you are a SharePoint Administrator, follow these steps:

  1. Open or navigate to SharePoint admin centre > More Features
  2. Click Open under the Apps heading
  3. Open the SharePoint Store
  4. Search for Compliance Tracker 365
  5. Click Add to Apps site, then click Add again to confirm data access requirements
  6. Approve SharePoint API’s (requires Administrator approval)

➡️ Alternate deployment option: Deploy via Microsoft AppSource.

📂 Site Collection App Catalog

A Site Collection App Catalog allows administrators to manage apps at the site collection level.

  • Once created, users with Full Control access to that site collection can add or remove apps.
  • This option is useful if you want to limit availability of Compliance Tracker 365 to a specific site collection.

To speed up deployment, also upload the PnP Modern Search and the Search Extension apps whist in the app catalogue.
