You can manage all apps that you've acquired on your **Apps & software** page. This page shows all of the content you've acquired, including apps that from Microsoft Store, and line-of-business (LOB) apps that you've accepted into your inventory. After LOB apps are submitted to your organization, you'll see a notification on your **Apps & software** page. On the **New LOB apps** tab, you can accept, or reject the LOB apps. For more information on LOB apps, see [Working with line-of-business apps](working-with-line-of-business-apps.md). The inventory page includes apps acquired by all people in your organization with the Store for Business Admin role.
All of these apps are treated the same once they are in your inventory and you can perform app lifecycle tasks for them: distribute apps, add apps to private store, review license details, and reclaim app licenses.

The private store is a feature in Microsoft Store for Business and Education that organizations receive during the signup process. When admins add apps to the private store, all employees in the organization can view and download the apps. Your private store is available as a tab in Microsoft Store app, and is usually named for your company or organization. Only apps with online licenses can be added to the private store.
You can make an app available in your private store when you acquire the app, or you can do it later from your inventory. Once the app is in your private store, employees can claim and install the app.

Offline licensing is a new licensing option for Windows 10 with Microsoft Store for Business and Microsoft Store for Education. With offline licenses, organizations can download apps and their licenses to deploy within their network, or on devices that are not connected to the Internet. ISVs or devs can opt-in their apps for offline licensing when they submit them to the Windows Dev Center. Only apps that are opted in to offline licensing will show that they are available for offline licensing in Microsoft Store for Business and Microsoft Store for Education. This model allows organizations to deploy apps when users or devices do not have connectivity to the Store.
