Allowing Others to Edit Your App

Scroll Prev Top Next More

When you create a new app, it is only visible and editable by the user who created it. However, you may want to allow other people to edit your app.

 

Once an app is shared, it will be moved from the Private top level node of the tree to the Shared top level node. Within the Shared node are the names of any users who have shared apps. A shared app will be moved into the tree node with the name of its creator. A shared app can be returned to the Private node by clicking the Unshare button.
