Publishing your apps

When you have created an app, the next step is to make it available for other users. Perform the following steps if you have developed your app using Qlik Sense Desktop:

1. Import the app using the Apps sheet in the Qlik Sense Management Console. There, you will find an Import button at the bottom:
   
2. Once the file is imported, you may also need to assign the correct owner: mark the file, click on Edit, and change the owner, if necessary. The file will then appear under My Work in the Qlik Sense hub.

   Note

   If you have developed the app using the Server version, it will already be under My Work.

3. Before you publish the app, it is recommended that you make a copy of the file. Mark the file on the Apps page in the Qlik Sense Management Console and select Duplicate in the More actions menu.
4. Now, you are ready to publish. You can publish the app by marking the file and clicking on the Publish button.
5. Publishing means that you move an app from your personal workspace to a stream, which means the file can be accessed by many people. The properties of the stream, including security rules, will then be applied. Note that the file will be removed from your personal workspace. This is the reason why it is a good idea to make a copy of it.
6. When publishing, you will be prompted to choose a stream for your application:
   
7. Currently, there is no way to "unpublish" an app. If you want to remove it from a stream, you need to delete the app.
