Features of Quick Apps for SharePoint

Quick Apps for SharePoint is deployed as a SharePoint Solution. The benefit of the solution package deployment is the ability to deploy web parts in selected Web Applications using the SharePoint Central Administration site. It also provides the flexibility to turn on/off Quick Apps for SharePoint as a site feature. When a new site or site collection is created, the Admin or Site Designer can activate the Quick Apps for SharePoint - Web Parts Library to enable the web parts for newly added site collections.
