All apps

Administrators manage the apps of their organization from the "All apps" page in the Administrator panel. Developers see only the apps they maintain, on their own Develop page. The "All apps" page lists every app on the platform, including any unpublished apps.

On any of these apps you can make the same edits that its maintainers can, whether or not you maintain the app yourself. Publishing a new version is the one exception, see Version history.

Keep in mind what each page is for:

  • Library: where users discover apps that are available to them. See Library.
  • Develop: where developers manage the apps they maintain. See Managing your app.
  • All apps: where administrators manage all apps, described on this page.

Finding an app​

All apps in the organization are listed on the page. To narrow down the list, you can make use of filters such as:

  • Verification
  • Visibility
  • Labels
  • Build type
  • Maintainer

Setting up the labels you filter on is described in Labels.

Inspecting an app​

Click on a listed app or select "Edit app details" button under the "Actions" column to open the details page of that app. Here you find all the details that a maintainer would be able to see when managing their app.

Editing app details​

On the details page, click on the three dots in the top-right corner and select "Edit app". This walks through the same steps as when the app was first created, and lets you correct the app information or change the labels that determine where users find the app. Every field a maintainer can change here is available to you as well.

Version history​

The versions tab on the details page lists all versions of the app, with the publication date and the developer that published each version. Publishing a new version is not an administrator action: only the maintainers of an app can publish. An administrator with developer access can therefore publish versions of the apps they maintain themselves, but not of other apps.

Environment variables​

The variables tab on the details page is available to administrators and to the maintainers of the app. On this tab, environment variables can be created, adjusted, or deleted. For more information please refer to using environment variables.

Archiving apps​

Apps that are no longer used can be archived, in either of these two ways:

  • Click the three dots under the "Actions" column of the overview table and select "Archive app".
  • Open the details page of the app, then click the three dots in the top-right corner of the screen and select "Archive".

Archived apps remain available for inspection through the "View archive" button in the top-right corner of the page, and can be brought back with the "Unarchive" button.

Note that an app cannot be archived when:

  • the app has active workspaces associated to it

    Solution: archive the active workspaces first

Note that an app cannot be unarchived when:

Creating apps​

Apps are always created from the "Develop" page, also by administrators. See Creating a new app.

FAQs​

Can I create an app from the "All apps" page?

No. Creating an app happens on the "Develop" page, for administrators and developers alike. Once the app exists it shows up on the "All apps" page.

Can I publish a new version of an app I do not maintain?

No. Publishing a new version is reserved for the maintainers of an app, because they are treated as being allowed to access the app code. Ask one of the maintainers listed on the details page to publish, or have yourself added as a maintainer of that app.

What is the difference between "All apps" and the Library?

The Library is the place where users discover the apps available to them: it shows what an app does and who maintains it. "All apps" is a management view for administrators, with the actions described on this page, and it also shows apps that users cannot use yet.
