Zoom Apps access got much more cumbersome after 7.1.5 — is this a rollout bug (release notes say the feature was pulled)?

After updating to Zoom Workplace Client 7.1.5, opening a Zoom App I've already added now requires: Marketplace tab → My Library → click the app → Open → Open homepage. Before this update, there was a dedicated Apps tab that let me open apps directly outside of a meeting in far fewer steps.

I found something that seems important: Zoom's own official release notes for the Workplace app (support.zoom.com, "Release notes for the Zoom Workplace app," July 20, 2026 / version 7.1.5 entry) list "Enhancements to Zoom Marketplace discovery and management with a unified view" as a new feature, but include a note at the end of that same section stating this feature "has been pulled from release due to issues with deployment and will be available in an upcoming release."

Despite that, my client is showing exactly this unified-view behavior right now. This also doesn't match Zoom's other documentation (KB0059804, "Getting started with Zoom Apps"), which still describes opening apps outside a meeting via a dedicated Apps tab → My Apps → Open (3 steps, not through Marketplace/My Library).

I've already confirmed the "Zoom Apps Quick Launch Button" setting (Settings → Zoom Apps tab) is enabled and unlocked on my account, so this doesn't appear to be a settings issue on my end.

Questions:
1. Is my account/client stuck in a partial or inconsistent rollout of the "unified view" feature that was officially pulled from the 7.1.5 release?
2. Is there any way to get back the previous Apps tab → My Apps → Open flow until the unified view is properly re-released?
3. When the unified view does officially return, will there be a faster path to open already-added apps (pinning, a recent-apps list, etc.), given the current flow is significantly more steps than before?

Has anyone else run into this, or found a workaround?
