Publish an Application

Publishing makes a Windows executable available to be added to workspaces. You can use a built-in preset or point to your own line-of-business executable on the session host.

Steps

  1. Open Applications and choose Add.
  2. Pick a preset (Notepad, WordPad, Paint, Explorer, PowerShell) or select a custom executable.
  3. Set the executable path as it exists on the session host, plus any arguments.
  4. Choose an icon for the workspace tile.
  5. Mark the application active and published, then Save.
  6. Add the application to a workspace so users can launch it. See Workspaces.
The application form with executable path, arguments, icon, and Save.
Note

At least one published application is required for an App Collection workspace. Virtual Desktop and Remote Desktop workspaces present a desktop rather than individual app tiles.

Warning

The executable must exist at the given path on the session host the session runs on. If the path is missing on the host, the application will fail to launch even though it appears in the workspace.
