Icons for the apps you’ve installed from the Chrome Web Store appear here. Just click an icon to open the app.

To change how an app should be opened, right-click the app icon and select "Open as a regular tab," "Open as a pinned tab," "Open as window," or "Open in full screen." For additional settings, right-click the app and select "Options."

You can rename a section by double-clicking the label and typing in a new name.
