Publishing

Apps including sheets and stories can be published to streams to make content available to other users. Additional sheets and stories can be published as a part of an app that is already published. Access rights control which users are allowed to publish different kinds of content.

Publishing apps

When you publish an app, the sheets and stories of the app will become available to the other users that have access to the stream that your published app belongs to.

When your app is published, it will be locked. This means that others will not be able to edit your published sheets and stories, but can use them to analyze the data.

No one can edit the base sheets and base stories that were published with the app, but if you have the correct access rights, you can add private sheets and stories to a published app. You can use a published sheet or story as a template of a new one, by duplicating.

The image below illustrates how the state of a sheet can change in relation to a published app. It works identically for stories.

When an app is published, only the master items and charts will be available in the assets panel when editing your private sheets.

Apps are published from the Qlik Management Console.

Publishing sheets and stories

The private sheets and stories that you create as a part of a published app can be published, to be made available to all other users of the published app.

When working with a published app, sheets and stories are organized in sections in the app overview depending on their status.
