Publish an application to the application repository

Publish a custom application to the application repository so that it can be installed on other instances in your organization.

Before you begin

To enable a developer to publish an application to the application repository, delegate the Publish to App Repo permission to the developer. For more information, see Delegate development and deployment permissions to personnel.

Role required: admin or delegated_developer with Publish To App Repo permission enabled

Procedure

  1. Navigate to All > System Applications > My Company Applications.
  2. Open the In Development tab.
  3. Open the application record that you want to publish to the application repository.
  4. Select the Publish to My Application Repository related link.
  5. Select Submit.

What to do next

Install the application on company instances so that your organization can start using it. For more information, see Install an application from the application repository.

By default, after you publish an application to the application repository, all your company instances are entitled to the application automatically. To limit which company instances are entitled to the application, access the application repository by going to https://apprepo.service-now.com, and then change the entitlement type for the application.
Note:

The Can Edit Application in Studio property defaults to true for new applications, but you can set it false before publishing.

In Studio, when an application customization has the Can Edit Application in Studio property set to false, the user sees this warning:Can Edit Application in Studio warning
