# Block App in GoGuardian Admin

> Add an app to a block policy in GoGuardian Admin directly from the Discover App Catalog.

This article explains how to add an app to a block policy in GoGuardian Admin from GoGuardian Discover. This is a cross-product workflow: the action starts in Discover and takes effect in GoGuardian Admin.

You need permission to edit policies in GoGuardian Admin to complete this workflow. If you can't select a policy, contact your GoGuardian Admin owner.

1. Go to **Discover**.

2. Click **App Catalog**.

3. Find the app you want to block.

4. Open the app details.

5. Click **Block in GoGuardian Admin**.

6. Review the app domain or domains that Discover will send to GoGuardian Admin.

9. Wait for the success message confirming the app was added.
