The publishing flow guides you through [Inputs], [Outputs], [App Info], and [Complete].

  2. Click [Share] in the upper-right corner.
  3. Select [Publish as App].

2.2 Select User Inputs

Selecting user inputs for an App
  1. Select the input nodes that users need to complete when running the App. Use [All], [Text], or [Image] to filter the available nodes.
  2. Add a short description to each selected input so users know what type of content works best.
  3. Set the applicable character or file-size limit.
  4. Enable [Keep input] when the node's current value should remain available in the published App.
  5. Click [Continue].

2.3 Select App Outputs

Selecting outputs for an App

When publishing is complete, click [View App] to check the App interface. Test the published App with new inputs before sharing it with other users.

3. Choose Who Can Access the App

Choose the access setting that matches how you want to share the App.

Sharing a published App
  • Anyone with the link: Select this option, click [Copy Link], and send the access link. Anyone who receives the link can open the App.
