# Control Which Apps Appear in Kiosk (15.3+)

FileWave Kiosk shows apps and other content assigned for self-service installation. A standard app assignment does not make the app appear in Kiosk, even when **Allow removal** is enabled.

## What changed in FileWave 15.3

Before FileWave 15.3, an app with a standard assignment and **Allow removal** could also appear in Kiosk as a reinstall path after the user removed it. From FileWave 15.3 onward, that fallback listing is gone: only content with a Kiosk assignment appears in self-service.

## Behavior in FileWave 15.3 and later

- An app with a Kiosk assignment appears as self-service content.
- An app with only a standard assignment does not appear in Kiosk.
- A standard assignment and a Kiosk assignment serve different purposes. If the standard assignment remains active and still requires the app, a successful Fileset Verify can reinstall the missing app; it does not add the app to Kiosk.
- Removing the Kiosk assignment removes the item from self-service after the model update reaches the device.

## If an app is missing from Kiosk

1. Confirm that the app has a Kiosk assignment to the intended device or group.
2. Confirm that the assignment or Deployment is active.
3. For Apple Apps and Books content, confirm that the correct token has available licenses.
4. Update the model and allow the device to check in and refresh Kiosk.
