This guide discusses adding custom tiles to Microsoft 365's app launcher through Power Apps. These custom tiles could represent SharePoint sites, external websites, legacy applications, and other resources. To add a custom tile, users must log in to Microsoft 365 admin center, navigate to Settings > Org settings, and select the Organization profile tab. They then choose "Custom tiles for Apps," click "Add a custom tile," and assign a name for the new tile. The URL where users will be directed upon clicking the tile should be provided, and it must use HTTPS. If the tile relates to a SharePoint site, navigate to the site, copy the link, and paste it in the URL field.
Creating custom tiles in the Microsoft 365 App Launcher can tailor the user experience to meet organization-specific needs. These custom tiles may link to internal SharePoint sites to facilitate collaboration, external websites for further information, or legacy applications necessary for specific tasks. Emphasizing HTTPS URLs ensures secure communication and protects user data. Custom tile images visually identify the associated resource, improving usability and user navigation.
Microsoft 365 has an app launcher that allows users to easily access relevant resources. To add custom tiles to the app launcher, administrators must first sign in to the Microsoft 365 admin center, then navigate to Settings > Org settings and select the Organization profile tab. From there, the administrator can choose "Custom tiles for Apps" and click on "Add a custom tile" to enter a name and URL for the tile. If the tile is for a SharePoint site, the administrator must navigate to that site and copy its URL into the appropriate field. Additionally, an image URL must be provided for the tile. Once all the necessary information is filled out, the tile will be added to the app launcher and be available for user access.
