Snap Inclusion
Snap inclusion and exclusion are terms used with the Dedicated Snap Store to describe which applications can be seen by the connected devices.

For a set of devices to see snaps, the administrator must ‘include’ them in the dashboard of the Dedicated Snap Store. They can decide whether to include public snaps from the global Snap Store or private snaps from the Dedicated Snap Store. Once included for a specific set, or model, of devices, the snaps will be visible to those devices. If for any reason a snap is not needed on those devices, the snap can be easily ‘excluded’ in the dashboard of the Dedicated Snap Store and removed. In the case of exclusion, the snap will still exist in either the public Snap Store or Dedicated Snap Store. However, it will no longer be visible to devices.
