Update an app

Note: The SharePoint Administrator role is required for updating an app.

Step 1: Open SharePoint Admin Center

Navigate to the SharePoint Admin Center, and sign in with an account that has SharePoint Administrator permissions for your organization.
Select More features on the left-hand panel.
Under Apps, select Open to open the Manage Apps section.

Step 2: Switch to classic experience

Updating SharePoint Store apps can currently only be triggered via the classic experience of the app catalog. Click on the link to go to the classic experience.

Step 3: Select your apps to update

Select the Accelerator 365 app that requires an update. Take note of how the app has been deployed according to the Add to all sites column.
- Yes - The app has been installed on all SharePoint sites in the tenant by default.
- No - The app has been enabled but not installed on all SharePoint sites in the tenant.
In the Files tab in the SharePoint ribbon, select the option for Upgrade Store App.

Step 4: Configure & deploy

Referring to your note from step 5, either check or uncheck the box to Make this solution available to all sites in your organization.

If the Added to all sites column for the app was "Yes", check the box.
If the Added to all sites column for the app was "No", uncheck the box

Then click on the Deploy button to update your app.

Note: when updating some Accelerator 365 apps, a message may appear asking to "Please go to the API Management Page to approve pending permissions". This is referring the Microsoft Graph API permissions some apps use.

This action isn't required. You can proceed to update the app by clicking on the Deploy button.

Congratulations! You have now successfully updated an Accelerator 365 app from the SharePoint Admin Center.

Note: the updates will automatically apply to existing and new instances of the Accelerator 365 app across all SharePoint sites and pages where it has been installed.
