Workspace Apps are kind of the evolution of organizational content packs.
Hi Aruna_ln,
Apps are an evolution and simplification of content packs, there are a few major differences.
1. After business users install a content pack, it loses its grouped identity: it's just a list of dashboards and reports interspersed with other dashboards and reports. While Apps maintain their grouping and identity even after installation. This makes it easy for business users to continue to navigate to them over time.
2. You can create multiple content packs from any workspace, but an app has a 1:1 relationship with its workspace. We believe this makes apps easier to understand and maintain over the long run. See the roadmap section of the Power BI blog for more on how we plan to improve this area.
3. When you create a context pack, you publish it to others, they can create a copy and edit it in copy version. While for App Workspaces, users cannot edit, they only view them.
4. In the feature, we plan to deprecate organizational content packs, so we recommend you create apps from now on.
More details, please review this similar thread.
