Business value

Microsoft AppSource is an online store with thousands of business applications and services from industry-leading software providers. It's a platform that makes it easy for customers to discover and try new apps. AppSource helps partners get customer leads and gain usage insights for trials, deployments, and growth for customer accounts. In addition to the primary AppSource marketplace site, Business Central has an embedded AppSource experience inside the client. Customers use this experience to browse and install apps directly from within the client. Because we deprecated this option, we built a new Microsoft AppSource Apps page in the client.

Feature details

The AppSource team deprecated the old embedded AppSource experience and replaced it with APIs that enable custom experiences inside consuming products. Because many Business Central users browse and install apps, we replaced the old embedded experience with a new Microsoft AppSource Apps page.

New Microsoft AppSource Apps list page

From this page, you can view, sort, and filter available AppSource apps by name, publisher name, install state, popularity, average rating, number of ratings, and last modified date.

You can select an app and see the details for that app.

The following actions are available:

  • View AppSource to open the online AppSource marketplace in a browser.
  • View in AppSource to open and view a selected app in the online AppSource marketplace.
  • Refresh list from Microsoft AppSource to refresh the list of all apps that display AppSource marketplace content. Use this action if you want to see newly submitted AppSource apps.

As with other list pages, you get support for Analysis Mode. For example, you can group apps by publisher.
