Apps

If you see an app with a gray cloud attached, you are able to work with the app in a hosted environment. 

If you see an app with an orange triangle, it means that the app is local only and not configured for hosted. You will need to launch the app from Workplace for Windows or macOS, as indicated by the orange triangle.
