Once this feature is released, it will be announced, and this banner will be removed.

To add an app to the External catalog in Patch My PC (PMPC) Cloud:

1. From the PMPC Cloud Portal, navigate to App Catalog | External

2. On the External catalog page, click Add App

   

   The list of apps in the public WinGet repository is displayed.

   

Tip

Use the Search box and filters to help you more easily find the app you want to add.

Note

If an app is already in the PMPC catalog, it will be shown with PUBLIC APP beside it, and you will be unable to re-add it. This is because it is better for you to use the curated version we maintain in the Patch My PC catalog Vs a non-curated version. Just hover over PUBLIC APP and click Go to App to open the app in our catalog.

Also, if an app is shown as N/A, it means this app is currently unsupported by the External catalog.

1. Click Add beside the required app.

ADDED appears next to the app, along with the Success – External app added notification.

1. Keep clicking Add beside any other apps you want to add.

2. Once you have finished adding all the required apps, click the X in the top-right corner.

The External catalog is redisplayed with the added app(s).

Next Steps

Now you have added an app(s) to the External catalog, you can deploy it.
