Install an App to a Site

Before an app can be added to a page, it must first be installed to a site. This is done through the Site contents, which you access through the Settings cog. For more information on what can be accessed via the settings cog, see Settings Menu.

Once an app has been installed to a site, it displays in the Apps folder under Categories when you add the app to a page. Since installing an app is a two-step process, when you are finished with this step, see Add an App to a Page.
