# Elastic Beanstalk application management console
<a name="applications-console"></a>

This topic explains how you can use the AWS Elastic Beanstalk console to manage applications, application versions, and saved configurations.

**To access the application management console**

1. Open the [Elastic Beanstalk console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk), and in the **Regions** list, select your AWS Region.

1. In the navigation pane, choose **Applications**, and then choose your application's name from the list.

   The application overview page shows a list with an overview of all environments associated with the application.

1. You have a few ways to continue:

   1. From the **Actions** drop-down menu, you can choose one of the application management actions: **Create environment**, **Delete application**, **View application versions**, **View saved configurations**, **Restore terminated environment**.

      To launch an environment in this application, you can directly choose **Create environment**. For details, see [Creating an Elastic Beanstalk environment](using-features.environments.md).

   1. The page lists the environment name next to applications that are deployed to an environment. Choose an environment name to go to the [environment management console](environments-console.md) for that environment, where you can configure, monitor, or manage the environment.

   1. When you select an application from the list, the left navigation pane lists the application.
      +  Choose **Application versions** following the application name in the navigation pane to view and manage the application versions for your application. 

        An application version is a deployable iteration of your application code: a source bundle that you upload for Beanstalk Standard, or, for Beanstalk Cluster, a container image that you provide or that Elastic Beanstalk builds from your source. You can add new versions, deploy a version to any environment in the application that the version is compatible with, or delete old versions. For more information, see [Managing application versions](applications-versions.md). 
      +  Choose **Saved configurations** following the application name in the navigation pane to view and manage configurations saved from running environments. 

        A saved configuration is a collection of settings that you can use to restore an environment's settings to a previous state, or to create an environment with the same settings. For more information see [Using Elastic Beanstalk saved configurations](environment-configuration-savedconfig.md).
