# Add and manage apps

*Learn how to add new apps and manage existing ones within the **Apps** page.*

This article details different procedures you can perform on apps in your instance. From creation to archival and everything in between, the **Apps** page allows you to add and manage all the applications in your instance.

## Create an app or app folder

1. Navigate to the **Apps** page from the Menu Bar.
2. Click **Create App** in the top right of the page. To create a folder, click the arrow and then **Create App Folder**.

### Limits on apps and app folders

| Item | Limit |
| --- | --- |
| Number of apps | No limit. |
| Number of app steps | No limit. |
| Number of app folders | 50 app folders within another app folder |

## Duplicate, print, or archive an app

1. From the **Apps** page, select an app from the app folder or search for an app via the search bar.
2. Click the **three-dot-menu** to access app options.

1. Select the desired action:

- Duplicate
- Print
- Export
- Import
- Archive
- Add to [Enterprise App Exchange](/r230/docs/an-overview-of-the-enterprise-app-exchange)

Duplicating an app will create a copy of the Development Version of the selected application.

Archived apps are [recoverable](https://support.tulip.co/docs/how-to-recover-archived-apps) under the Archived Apps menu option.

### Best practices for printing apps

          NOTE

          

If you want to print app data in real-time, [see this separate guide](https://support.tulip.co/docs/how-operators-can-print-app-data-or-save-it-to-a-pdf) This guide only shows how to print all steps in the app without dynamic content.

Due to a limitation in Google Chrome, you may only print 16 steps at a time. Each step will be printed on a new page.

If your app has more than 16 steps, use the **Next** button at the top of the print screen to advance to the next set of steps. Then, choose **Print** again.

1. Select the desired action:

Archived app folders are [recoverable](https://support.tulip.co/docs/how-to-recover-archived-apps) under the **Archived Apps** menu option.

## Move an app between folders

Storing apps into folders helps organize your Tulip space and separates apps into their respective process stages. To reorganize an app in your instance, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the **Apps** page.

**Development Version**

The **Dev Version**of a Tulip app is the work-in-progress of your application after an app has been published. If a **Station**is assigned to run the Development version of an application, it will see live changes as they are made in the app editor.

Generally, **Stations**running in production will be running the **Published Version**of an Application.
