With apps in Lightning Experience, members of your org can work more efficiently by
easily switching between apps. Users can open apps you’ve created from the App Launcher. What’s
most important to sales reps? Accounts, events, and organizations. How about sales managers?
Reports and dashboards make the top of the list. Lightning apps take things to another level past
Classic apps by letting you brand your apps with a custom color, logo, and utility
bar.

Lightning apps contain everything you expect from a custom app, such as custom and standard
objects, and custom tabs. But Lightning apps can also include Lightning page tabs and utilities
like Lightning Voice. The navigation model of Lightning apps is optimized for efficiency, with
actions on certain items like Opportunities in the navigation bar. You can even append navigation
items to a Lightning app that you found on AppExchange and installed from a managed package.
Custom apps from Salesforce Classic automatically work in Lightning Experience and can be
upgraded to Lightning apps. Classic apps appear in the list of apps in Setup alongside your
Lightning apps, and are available from the App Launcher as long as their Show in
Lightning Experience attribute is enabled.
However, the reverse isn’t true for Lightning apps. Lightning apps aren’t available in
Salesforce Classic.
You can assign multiple user profiles to multiple apps. Also, you can assign as many user
profiles to one app as you need to. For instance, you have several groups involved with inside
sales. Assign all the groups to your inside sales app, and they all have access to it.
To switch between apps, users can use the App Launcher. This makes it easy for users to switch
contexts and still have access to the items, objects, and pages they need most.
You can view all the apps in your org from the App Manager. In Lightning Experience Setup,
enter App in the Quick Find box, then select App
Manager.
