   The functions `Pkg.status`, `Pkg.why`, `Pkg.instantiate`, `Pkg.precompile` (and their REPL variants) have been updated
   to take a `workspace` option. Read more about this feature in the manual about the TOML-files.
 - `status` now shows when different versions/sources of dependencies are loaded than that which is expected by the manifest ([#4109])

 This is in contrast to most Julia packages that are used as "libraries" and are loaded by other files or in the Julia REPL.
 
 ## Creating a Julia app
 
 A Julia app is structured similar to a standard Julia library with the following additions:
 
 - A `@main` entry point in the package module (see the [Julia help on `@main`](https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/command-line-interface/#The-Main.main-entry-point) for details)

+## Multiple Apps per Package
+
+A single package can define multiple apps by using submodules. Each app can have its own entry point in a different submodule of the package.
+
+```julia
+# src/MyMultiApp.jl
+module MyMultiApp
+
+function (@main)(ARGS)
+    println("Main app: ", join(ARGS, " "))
+end
+
+include("CLI.jl")

+```

+```toml
+# Project.toml
+
+# standard fields here
+
+[apps]
+main-app = {}
+cli-app = { submodule = "CLI" }

+This will create two executables:

+- `cli-app` that runs `julia -m MyMultiApp.CLI`
