App contents

A Qlik Sense application is a task-specific, purpose-built application. The user who creates an application is automatically designated as the owner of the application. An application can be reused, modified, and shared with others.

When importing an application to a server, or exporting an application from a server, related content that is not stored in the QVF file, such as images, is also moved. The related content is stored in a separate folder: %ProgramData%\Qlik\Sense\Repository\AppContent\<App ID>. Each application has its own application content folder, with the application ID as the folder name.
