# Administer your apps

The system offers several ways to manage applications. You must have the admin role to perform these procedures.

## Legacy Application Manager

The legacy application manager provides information on how to administer your applications in your instance. For more information about installing, updating, or removing an application see [Available actions](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/platform-administration/app-installation.md).

## Application Manager

A new Application Manager experience is now available. The new experience simplifies the process of managing your licensed applications by consolidating them in one convenient location, displaying all your licensed applications, plugins, installed applications, and available updates. For more information, see [Application Manager](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/platform-administration/application-manager.md).

## Application sharing

Administrators can share applications that are complete and are ready for use on other instances by publishing to the application repository, publishing to the ServiceNow Store, publishing to an Update Set, or pushing to team development instances. For more information, see [Application sharing](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-development/c_SharingApplications.md).
