# HTML5 Apps Content Provider \(Local Repository\) An overview of federating content from the *HTML5 Apps* content provider. When you subscribe to SAP Build Work Zone, advanced edition, the *HTML5 Apps* content provider is created automatically in the *Channel Manager*. At this point, the provider is empty, so that when you view it in the *Content Explorer*, it has no content. Any app that is deployed to SAP BTP, is automatically added as content to this provider. > ### Note: > The *HTML5 Apps* content provider reflects the local repository of HTML5 apps deployed to the subaccount. It shouldn't be confused with an HTML5 business solution that is deployed to the subaccount as a SaaS application \(and usually consists of several UI modules, business logic and a connection to a database\). For more information about the HTML5 business solution type, see [Federation of Business Solutions](federation-of-business-solutions-2686d71.md).
