# Managed Apps Reference for Discovery in Patch My PC Cloud

*Applies to: Patch My PC Cloud*

As detailed in [Manage Managed Apps](/patch-my-pc-cloud/discovery/manage-managed-apps.md), an app will appear on the **Managed** tab of the **Discovery** node of Patch My PC (PMPC) Cloud if there is at least one matching deployment in either PMPC Cloud or our on-premises Publisher (Publisher) for that app.

This article includes examples of each of the supported scenarios.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Tip**

Hovering over either the value in the **Assigned To All** column or **Edit** button for a deployment will show a tooltip providing more information.
{% endhint %}

## PMPC Cloud-Only Deployment

If the app has only been deployed using PMPC Cloud, the app:

* Has the PMPC Cloud (![](/files/gHywGmpVzw0u5oKVuATR)) icon beside its name.
* Has either a red X (<img src="/files/GRAbMmojv3k3Lw97g129" alt="" data-size="line">) or green tick (<img src="/files/b4lD54lOHEylsWqreci2" alt="" data-size="line">) in the **Assigned To All** column, depending on whether there is at least one deployment with a **Required** or **Update Only** assignment type to the Intune pre-defined **All Users** or **All Devices** assignments:
  * A red X indicates there isn’t.
  * A green tick indicates there is.
* The **Edit** button is either:
  * A pencil (<img src="/files/CYwkg4b6KE3NdJgrWwax" alt="" data-size="line">) if the app only has one deployment.
  * A down arrow (<img src="/files/13gvxV2wTKRnPSfVxxOR" alt="" data-size="original">) if the app has multiple deployments. When you click the arrow, a dropdown list opens containing all of the deployments for the app from which you can choose the deployment you want to edit.

In the following screenshot:

* Both **Notepad++** and **Zoom Workplace** have only been deployed through PMPC Cloud.
* **Notepad++** has a single deployment with a **Required** assignment type to **All Users**.
* **Zoom Workplace** has multiple deployments, but none have a **Required** assignment type to **All Users** or **All Devices**.

This can be confirmed by searching for the app in the App Catalog.

## Publisher Only Deployment

If the app has only been deployed using Publisher, as PMPC Cloud did not create the deployment, the app:

* Has the On-Prem Publisher (![](/files/O3K1zD1akskCyjzugptv)) icon beside its name.
* Has a value of **Unknown** in the **Assigned To All** column.
* The **Edit** button is disabled as you need to edit the deployment in Publisher.

In the following screenshot, the **Google Chrome** app has only been deployed using Publisher.

This can be confirmed by searching for the app in the App Catalog.

## PMPC Cloud and Publisher Deployment

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Important**

We do not recommend deploying the same app through the Publisher and PMPC Cloud to avoid settings conflicts and unwanted app behavior.
{% endhint %}

If the app has been deployed using PMPC Cloud and Publisher, the app:

* Has both the PMPC Cloud (![](/files/gHywGmpVzw0u5oKVuATR)) and On-Prem Publisher (![](/files/O3K1zD1akskCyjzugptv)) icons beside its name.
* Has either a red X (<img src="/files/pCCwax89fyuqlZFU2YGA" alt="" data-size="line">) or green tick (<img src="/files/0C7mr9xxJqZZFJKM3cZF" alt="" data-size="line">) in the **Assigned To All** column, depending on whether there is at least one PMPC Cloud deployment with a **Required** or **Update Only** assignment type to the Intune pre-defined **All Users** or **All Devices** assignments:
  * A red X indicates there isn’t.
  * A green tick indicates there is.
* The **Edit** button is only available to edit the PMPC Cloud deployment and will either be:
  * &#x20;A pencil (<img src="/files/DAZBCZdNMxlCmypTBNY4" alt="" data-size="line">) if the app only has one deployment.
  * A down arrow (<img src="/files/6IAB0alnLFsldnfyjHDm" alt="" data-size="original">) if the app has multiple deployments. When you click the arrow, a dropdown list opens containing all of the deployments for the app from which you can choose the deployment you want to edit.

In the following screenshot, **Notepad++** has been deployed through Publisher and PMPC Cloud, with the PMPC Cloud deployment having a **Required** or **Update Only** assignment type to the Intune pre-defined **All Users** or **All Devices** assignments.
