+
+## Searching and Filtering Apps
+Once your apps are uploaded, you can easily search and filter them using the tools provided:
+
+- **Search Bar**: Search by:
+
+- - **App Name** – the name of the app you uploaded.
+
+- - **Package Name** – the identifier for all versions of an Android app.
+
+- - **Bundle ID** – the identifier for all versions of an iOS app.
+
+- **OS Filter**: 
+- The OS Filter in the App Manager allows you to easily sort and view apps based on their operating system. This is especially useful when managing a mix of Android and iOS builds.
+- You can filter the app list to show:
+
+- - Android apps only
+
+- - OS apps only
+
+- - Both Android and iOS apps together

+## Version Control
+LambdaTest App Manager offers a convenient version control system for managing multiple versions of the same application:
+- When you click on an app name in the file bundle section, a version panel opens.
+- This panel displays all versions of the selected app that have been uploaded.
+- The most recent version appears at the top, with older versions listed below.
+- Users can:
+- - Search through the uploaded versions.
+- - Run any version by clicking the green Run App button or recent version by clicking on **Run App**.
+
+<img loading="lazy" src={require('../assets/images/real-device-app-testing/APP_MANAGER_VERSION_CONTROL.png').default} className="doc_img"/>
+---
+
+## Launching an App on a Real Device  
+Once a specific version is selected:
+
+- **Step 1:** Click the Run App button beside the version you want to test.
+- **Step 2** This action redirects you to the Real Device App Testing screen.
+<img loading="lazy" src={require('../assets/images/real-device-app-testing/APP_MANAGER_RUN_TEST.png').default} className="doc_img"/>
+
+- **Step 3** A list of available real devices is displayed. Click on the device you want to use for testing.
+- **Step 4** Click on Start button.
+- **Step 5** You can interact with your app in real-time.
+---
+## Use Case
+
+- Maintain multiple versions of the same app for consistent version control
+- Validate app behavior across different OS versions and device models
+- Test patched builds quickly for hotfix verification and bug resolution
+- Share builds with team members or stakeholders for review and collaboration
+- Share builds with team members or stakeholders for review and collaboration
