Editing App Studio (section)

== Accessing and using App Studio ==
To get to the App Studio, click your profile > Apps > App Studio in your ActiveCampaign account. When you access App Studio for the first time, you'll notice that the "My Apps" section will be empty.

If you're a returning user of App Studio, you'll see apps you've already created or are working on listed on the page. From here, you can edit or delete the app(s) you've created.

To get started with building an app, click the "Build a New App" button located at the top of the page. This will bring you to a form that collects information about who you are and what app you'd like to build. You'll need to complete the information on this page and then submit the form. Note that you can edit the information you provided to this form at any time.

Once you've submitted the form, click the "Get Building" button to get started. You'll then move through three different stages of the app process: Build, Review, Publish.

=== Build ===
In this stage, you can build your app using the live editor in App Studio. We'll point out syntax errors inline so you know what to fix as you go. When you're ready, you can test the configuration in your sandbox account by clicking "Test in Sandbox."

Once you've tested the configuration and fixed all errors, click the "Submit App" button. If you're not able to click the "Submit App" button, this means that you may have some errors that still need to be addressed.

=== Review ===
Once you submit the app for review, it will be listed under the "My Apps" section of App Studio along with a version number. In addition, our team of engineers will be alerted of the submission and will begin to review and test your work.

A progress bar will indicate where you are in the review process. To see this bar, click the app version number under "My Apps" in App Studio. If our team of engineers finds any issues with your code, they'll reach out to you and help you fix them.

=== Publish ===
Once your app is approved, you can publish it to the App Marketplace. Or you can publish your app privately instead. If you wish to share the private app with other ActiveCampaign accounts, email us a list of those accounts to layer-support@activecampaign.com. We'll then give those accounts access to your app.
