Organize Apps

Managed Google Play's Organize apps feature lets you group work apps into collections. Collections are displayed on the front page of the managed Play Store app, giving your users quick and easy access to the apps they need for work. You can use collections to organize apps into different categories. For example, you can create an Essentials collection for frequently used apps, and an Expenses collection for apps related to tracking costs, logging travel, etc.
In the managed Play Store app, each collection is displayed as a row of apps on the homepage. Users can identify collections by their title (Essentials or Expenses, for example), and can scroll horizontally to view all the apps in a collection.
Before You Begin
Only approved apps can be added to a collection. Before you can create a collection, you need to approve apps for your organization. The managed Play Store app automatically displays a collection if it contains at least one app that's been made available to the user. Any app in a collection that hasn't been made available to a user will be automatically hidden in the user's managed Play store app.
