Allowing only specific apps from the office store using a network catalog.

I would like to allow only some office apps through my network catalog store. I have been able to create a network catalog and it is visible under the drop dop down menut off inserting apps however i cannot find a way to add apps from the office store into my network acatalo. is this possible?

I would like to use group policy in order to block the office store and only allow apps that have a business need.

any direction would be extremely helpfull. Thanks.

Hi, 

Do you want to block the local apps for Office or the online apps on the Office Store?

Assuming you want to block the online apps, we have no idea to block the Office apps.

Apps for Office are hosted in an iframe that runs using the HTML5 sandbox attribute, which has nothing to do with the local settings.

Please refer to the following article to get more details about apps for Office:

Hope this helps.
