When the built-in applications in WUYING Workspace don't meet your needs, upload your own in-house or third-party applications to Elastic Desktop Service (EDS). This topic covers how to upload, update, control visibility, configure automatic installation, and delete self-managed applications.

Steps:

On the Apps page, click Add.
In the Upload App panel, configure the parameters and click OK.
