How to Use ClickApps in ClickUp

ClickUp offers powerful ClickApps that let you customize features for every team, Space, and workflow so you can build exactly the experience your work requires.

This guide explains what ClickApps are, how to enable and configure them, and how to manage their settings at every level of your ClickUp hierarchy.

What are ClickApps in ClickUp?

ClickApps are modular features you can turn on or off to tailor how work is managed in your workspace. Instead of a one-size-fits-all setup, you decide which capabilities each part of your ClickUp workspace needs.

Each ClickApp focuses on a specific type of functionality, such as task management, time tracking, collaboration, or automation. You can mix and match them to keep your interface clean and relevant to each team.

Where ClickApps Work in ClickUp

ClickApps can be managed at different levels of your ClickUp hierarchy. Understanding these levels helps you apply settings in the right place.

• Workspace: Enable or disable ClickApps for the entire account.
• Space: Choose which ClickApps are active for a specific department or team.
• Folder: Fine-tune how groups of Lists use ClickApps.
• List: Configure ClickApps for a specific workflow, project, or client.

By adjusting ClickApps at these levels, you can keep some features global while tailoring others to individual teams or projects.

How to Access ClickApps in ClickUp

You manage most ClickApps from the workspace-level settings in ClickUp. From there you can turn them on, adjust global options, and control which Spaces can use them.

Open the ClickApps settings

1. Open your workspace in ClickUp.
2. Click your workspace avatar or settings menu.
3. Select the option to manage ClickApps for the workspace.

The ClickApps page displays a list of available features. Each item includes a description and key options you can configure.

How to Enable a ClickApp

Once you locate a feature on the ClickApps page, you can enable it for your workspace.

1. Find the desired ClickApp in the list.
2. Toggle the ClickApp on for the workspace.
3. Review any global settings or default behaviors.
4. Save or apply your changes.

After enabling a ClickApp at the workspace level, you can usually refine how it works in individual Spaces, Folders, and Lists.

How to Disable a ClickApp

If a feature is no longer needed, you can turn off its ClickApp from the same settings area.

1. Return to the ClickApps page in your ClickUp workspace.
2. Locate the ClickApp you want to disable.
3. Switch the toggle off.
4. Confirm any prompts about removing or hiding related options.

Disabling a ClickApp typically hides its options from views and tasks. Existing data may be retained but not displayed, depending on the specific feature.

Configuring ClickApps by Space in ClickUp

Different teams often need different capabilities, which is why Spaces can have unique ClickApp settings in ClickUp.

Adjust ClickApps for a specific Space

1. Open the relevant Space in ClickUp.
2. Go to the Space settings menu.
3. Look for the ClickApps or features section.
4. Enable or disable individual ClickApps for that Space.
5. Save your configuration.

Space-level control lets you give advanced tools to some teams while keeping other teams focused on simple task execution.

Managing ClickApps at Folder and List Level

Folders and Lists provide another layer of control when configuring ClickApps in ClickUp.

Set ClickApps for a Folder

1. Navigate to the Folder in your Space.
2. Open the Folder settings.
3. Find the ClickApps options available for that Folder.
4. Turn features on or off to match the workflows inside the Folder.

Set ClickApps for a List

1. Open the List you want to customize.
2. Access List settings or List-level options.
3. Locate the ClickApps section.
4. Select which features should apply only to this List.

Using Folder- and List-level settings helps you keep specialized workflows isolated without affecting the rest of your ClickUp workspace.

Common Use Cases for ClickApps

ClickApps in ClickUp support many scenarios. Here are examples of how teams typically use them:

• Project management: Enable task dependencies, tags, custom fields, and priorities for complex projects.
• Product development: Turn on features like sprints, estimates, and Agile-related options in dedicated Spaces.
• Client work: Activate time tracking and billing-related features for client-specific Lists or Folders.
• Operations: Use form, automation, and status-related ClickApps to standardize recurring processes.

By enabling only the tools that matter, each team gets a focused view that matches how they actually work.

Best Practices for ClickApps in ClickUp

To keep your workspace organized and easy to use, follow these best practices:

• Start simple: Turn on only the most essential ClickApps first, then add more as teams get comfortable.
• Align with hierarchy: Use workspace-level ClickApps for universal needs, and Space, Folder, or List settings for specialized workflows.
• Review periodically: Schedule regular reviews to remove unused features and keep ClickUp clean.
• Document standards: Create internal guidelines so everyone knows which ClickApps to use in which Spaces.
• Train your team: Give short walkthroughs when you introduce new ClickApps so users understand why they were enabled.

If you need strategic help designing your workspace structure, you can also work with productivity and systems experts, such as the consultants at Consultevo, to plan which ClickApps should be enabled where.

Next Steps to Optimize Your ClickUp Setup

Now that you understand how ClickApps work in ClickUp, choose one Space to optimize first. Enable only the features that match that team’s goals, test them for a full work cycle, and then refine your configuration before rolling the same structure out across your entire workspace.

With the right ClickApps in place at each level, ClickUp becomes a flexible platform that adapts to every team rather than forcing them into a single way of working.
