Curate and customize the Chrome Web Store for your organization
What’s changing
Admins can now customize the Chrome Web Store experience for their users with several new options, including:
- Branding and custom messaging: Add company logos, custom welcome banners and announcement banners.
- Curated collections: Organize specific extensions for your users, including recommended and private extensions. We have also introduced a new collection of extensions that displays all items that are allowlisted by IT administrators.
- Category controls: Hide specific extension categories to help streamline the browsing experience for users.
Additionally, we've enhanced the Chrome Web Store search experience. In the search results. end-users can quickly notice blocked item tags, and they can benefit from more advanced filtering such as a “Private items” filter.
