How it's used
Focuses on the strategic or skillful application of resources, skills, or abstract concepts rather than just simple usage. It implies a sense of purpose or efficiency in how something is deployed to achieve a specific result. While often used in formal contexts like school or work, it is perfectly natural in conversation when discussing how to leverage one's abilities.
Examples
He really knows how to apply his own strengths to solve problems.
How do you usually make use of these tools?

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 用 which is a generic verb for using something. Using a pen to write is simply 用, whereas using your knowledge of grammar to write a complex essay is 運用.
