Note These steps work in Salesforce Classic. If you see the App Launcher icon (![../images/app\_launcher\_icon.png](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-basics-264-0-0-production-enus/d8bf6981-f8ef-4f16-bfbd-c42ed32044eb/basics/images/app_launcher_icon.png)) on the left side of the navigation bar at the top of your screen, you're in Lightning Experience. If not, you're in Salesforce Classic.

You must have access to the Salesforce app or connected app to see and open it from the App Launcher.

- To open the App Launcher, from the drop-down app menu at the upper-right corner of any Salesforce page, select **App Launcher**.

- In the App Launcher, click the tile for the app that you want.
