Before you complete this step of the setup process, be sure to see step 2, Install the Dynamics 365 Guides solution.

There are two Microsoft Dynamics 365 Guides apps:

  • PC authoring app

  • HoloLens app, which has an Author mode and an Operate mode

You can install both apps from Microsoft Store, as described in the next section.

Note

If you can't access Microsoft Store because of company policies, contact your admin about distributing the app.

If you're an admin, and your company uses Microsoft Store for Business to distribute your apps, you can have users install the apps either from your organization's private store or from an email link that you send. See the instructions later in this topic.
