Reorder the App Menu and App Launcher in Salesforce Classic

You can change the order in which apps appear in the app menu and App Launcher. The app menu is a dropdown in the upper-right corner of every page in Salesforce Classic. If enabled, the App Launcher is listed in the dropdown menu.
Available in: Salesforce Classic (not available in all orgs)
Available in: Contact Manager, Group, Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions

User Permissions Needed
To view apps: View Setup and Configuration
To manage apps: Customize Application

Apps in the App Launcher appear as large tiles and link to Salesforce standard apps, custom apps, and connected apps. The App Launcher displays a user’s available Salesforce apps and the connected apps that a Salesforce admin installs for the org.

  1. From Setup, enter App Menu in the Quick Find box, then select App Menu.
  2. From the list of app menu items, drag the apps to change their order. Changes take effect immediately.
  3. Optionally, click Visible in App Launcher or Hidden in App Launcher to show or hide individual apps from the App Launcher for all users in the org.

The app menu lists all apps installed in the org. However, the apps that users see in their App Launcher vary. You control each app’s visibility settings and users’ permissions.

Follow these steps to set the initial ordering of apps on the app menu. If your users reorder apps in their App Launcher, their sort order overrides yours. Also, after a user reorders the apps, the Salesforce Classic app menu displays the apps in the user’s preferred order.
