Table of contents will be added

In the Cloud Platform user interface toolbar, select **Develop** to view the **All Applications** page. The **All Applications** page displays all the applications you have access to. These applications are hosted by Cloud Platform. You can [tag application](/acquia-cloud-platform/manage-apps/cloud-platform-interface/tags) and use filtering options to manage applications easily. 

Modifying views of applications
-------------------------------

Select the grid or list icons to switch between the following displays for all applications:

*   _Grid view_: Displays a tile for each application with its name, URL, [application tags](/acquia-cloud-platform/manage-apps/cloud-platform-interface/tags), and if applicable, [version of PHP](/acquia-cloud-platform/manage-apps/php) installed on the production environment
*   _List view_: Lists each application with its name, URL, [application tags](/acquia-cloud-platform/manage-apps/cloud-platform-interface/tags), and if applicable, [version of PHP](/acquia-cloud-platform/manage-apps/php) installed on the production environment

To view a subset of your applications, you can use the following features:

*   Select the triangle in the [breadcrumb menu](/acquia-cloud-platform/cloud-ui#cloud-breadcrumbs) to display a list of organizations your account belongs to, and the applications each organization controls.
*   Select the **Filter Applications** field to the right of the grid and list icons to limit which applications are displayed. Start typing in the field. The **All Applications** page displays the applications whose names or [application tags](/acquia-cloud-platform/manage-apps/cloud-platform-interface/tags) match the string you enter. You can also use `or` as an operator to use more than one filter.
*   Select the **Starred** button to view the starred applications. To star an application, use the corresponding [star](#cloud-apps-page) icon.
*   Select an organization in the **All Organizations** dropdown menu to view all the applications associated with the selected organization.

Using the All Applications page
-------------------------------

The **All Applications** page provides the following features to help you manage your applications:

*   Select the application name (or, in grid view, **Manage**) to work with the application’s [environments](/acquia-cloud-platform/manage-apps/environments).
*   Select the application’s URL to visit the application in a new browser window.
*   Select the star in the upper-right corner of an application’s card to include it in the **Starred** list.
*   Select the plus sign in an application’s card to add an [application tag](/acquia-cloud-platform/manage-apps/cloud-platform-interface/tags).

Adding applications
-------------------

To create a Cloud Platform application, select **Add Application**. Alternatively, you can buy an additional Cloud Platform Professional subscription. To create a new Cloud Platform Enterprise or Site Factory application, contact your Acquia account team.

Renaming applications
---------------------

To change the name of an existing application:

1.  In the Cloud Platform user interface, select the application.
2.  Click **Actions** > **Rename application**.

Deleting applications
---------------------

The following subscription levels and groups don’t allow you to delete applications from the Cloud Platform user interface, and instead require you to [create a Support ticket](/service-offerings/support#contact-acquia-support) to remove any applications:

*   Cloud Platform Enterprise
*   Site Factory
*   Partners
*   Cloud Platform Professional subscribers using non-credit card payment methods

Obtaining your application ID
-----------------------------

Occasionally, your use of Cloud Platform may require you to provide your application’s unique identifier—this may be referred to as the `UUID` or the `Application_ID`. Use the following method to locate your application’s ID:

1.  [Sign in to the Cloud Platform user interface](/node/55875).
2.  Select the application.
3.  Examine the Cloud Platform webpage’s URL in your browser’s address bar, which should appear similar to the following value:
    
    `https://cloud.acquia.com/app/develop/applications/[string]`
    
    The `[string]` is your application’s `UUID`.
    

This ID may be used with methods in the Cloud Platform API, and with other development applications that can use it for identifying a particular application to read or modify.
