# Managing applications

If you are an owner of an application, the application displays on the **Applications** page. From this page, you can add new applications, view and update existing applications, and delete them from PingCentral when they are no longer needed.

## Steps

1. Use the menu at the top of the page to sort the list of applications by modified date or by application name, or use the search feature to locate an application by name.

   OAuth, OIDC, SAML, and PingAccess applications are listed in the order in which they were last modified, by default, with the most recently modified at the top of the list.

2. On the **Applications** page, you can:

   * View information about an application. Click the expandable icon associated with it.

     Learn more in [Viewing application information](../pingcentral_viewing_apps/pingcentral_viewing_apps.html).

   * Add a new SAML, OAuth, or OIDC application to PingCentral. Click **Add Application**, select a template, and follow the wizard prompts.

     Learn more in [Adding applications](../pingentral_adding_apps/pingcentral_adding_apps.html).

     | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
     |   | Administrators can also assign you as the owner of an application, in which case the application will display on your **Applications** page. |

   * Promote applications to development or production environments. Click the expandable icon associated with the application you want to promote and click the **Promote** tab. Learn more in [Promoting applications](../pingcentral_promoting_apps/pingcentral_promoting_apps.html).

   * Delete an application from PingCentral. Click its associated **Delete** icon.

     ### Choose from:

     * To delete an application from PingCentral only, click the **Delete** button.

     * To delete an application from all environments, depending on the application type, select the **Delete from PingFederate in all environments** or **Delete from PingAccess in all environments** checkbox and click the **Delete** button.
