As soon as you have started to share an app to Quickbase Exchange, you will have access to the My shared apps page. This page lists all your draft or shared apps.
Apps shown on the My shared apps page may have one of the following statuses: New, Pending, Issue, Draft, or none. An app's status (except for none) is indicated by a label. These labels are visible in Quickbase Exchange (if the app has been published) and on the My shared apps page.

Draft
|
An app that you are still preparing or editing. When working with a draft app, you cannot add or import users, create cross-app relationships, or make API calls from the app. Only you, as the app's manager, can interact with the app. Note: The Draft status will not persist when copying or transferring the original app. That is, the resulting app will be live in the correct account when you copy or transfer it. |
N |
|
Pending
|
An app you have submitted that is awaiting examination by the app curator. |
N |
|
Issue
|
An app you have submitted that needs to be changed after the app curator has examined it. |

|
New

An app you have shared that has just been published to Quickbase Exchange. The New label is shown for seven days from the time your latest changes are published. |
Y |
