No ability to add App to Launcher

Can anyone tell me why my client's tenant would not have the option to Add Custom Tiles to the App Launcher as described on https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Add-custom-tiles-to-the-My-apps-pa...

Thanks, I was guessing that might be the case. I was using my admin account also.

 

This dependency sort of defeats the purpose of having a separate admin account.

 

Its just another example in the very long list of poorly documented feature dependencies.

Hi Dean_Gross and Eric Adler

 

Thanks for the feedback. We're actively working to simplify this flow and aim to have a resolution by the end of the calendar year (dependent on some technical complexities).

 

With regards to Eric Adler's comment about pinning custom tiles - Any tiles added by an Admin will autmatically be visible in the 'NEW' and 'ALL' tabs on the app launcher, allowing users to then pin this to their custom 'HOME' tab. We are currently working on enabling Admins to mandate the appearance and location of certain tiles on their users 'HOME' tabs. Look out for more very soon!
