# Suite or standalone?

Most capabilities are available both inside the suite and as a standalone app containing just that capability. The arithmetic is simple: two or more capabilities and the suite wins.

The part people underestimate is that several features do not exist in a standalone app at all, because they are aggregations over capabilities that a standalone install does not have.

## What you lose with standalone apps

* The unified "Capable" byline on every page, with the ',' keyboard shortcut, which is how you reach capabilities.
* The Capable Home dashboard as a full page
* The command palette search
* The Search table macro, which is filtered out of Capable's macro browser in every non-Suite app
* One "Capable Agent" for Rovo covering all ten Capable actions, instead of a narrow per-app agent
* The global "Capabilities" admin tab for hiding a capability across the whole site
* Per-space Auto / Always / Never capability visibility, and per-capability bylines that hide themselves until a page actually uses that capability
* Every macro in one install (around 61 macros)

## Capabilities with no standalone app

Some capabilities are not sold separately at all: Home and the Capable byline, Links, Word count, Tasks, Source, Export, and numbered headings. If you want any of those, you want the suite.

## A few things worth knowing

* Moving from standalone to suite is a supported migration, not a reinstall, because the content behind standalone macros has to be copied across.
* Run both apps side by side while you migrate. That is the intended path.
* A standalone app and its suite equivalent are different apps with different keys.
