Deployment Options

When installing the SPFx app like Approvals Hub in your SharePoint environment, you will be presented with two installation options. Below is an explanation of each option to help you choose the most suitable deployment method.

1. Only enable this app

• This option installs the app but does not automatically add it to any SharePoint site.
• Recommended if you want to control the specific sites where the app is available.

2. Enable this app and add it to all sites

• This option makes it available across all SharePoint sites in your tenant.
• Note: This option does not automatically install the app on any site. Site administrator must manually add the app to a page to complete the installation.
• Recommended for organizations that want to ensure universal access without needing to add the app manually to each site.

Add to Teams (Optional Checkbox)
