  • Add from a JSON file — Import an application using an OCI image descriptor JSON file.

Adding from the Application Store

In the application store modal, browse the available applications. Click an application to select it — the background color changes to indicate selection. Then click the Add button to import the selected application into your abcdesktop.io instance.
