[Quickly deploy a new IoT Central application](quick-deploy-iot-central.md) and then customize it to your specific requirements. Application templates in Azure IoT Central are a tool to help you kickstart your IoT solution development. You can use app templates for everything from getting a feel for what is possible, to fully customizing your application to resell to your customers.
