Overview

The Applications area lists every app you have access to within the current workspace. Two tabs organize the content:

  • Applications — all apps you own or have been granted access to.

  • System Applications — platform-managed apps (visible based on your role; typically restricted to workspace administrators).

Apps load in batches of 30 at a time, ordered by most-recently-updated first. Scroll to the bottom to load the next batch. The list refreshes automatically when you perform an action (clone, delete, etc.).

Searching for Applications

Use the Search applications field at the top of the list to filter by name in real time. The search is case-insensitive and matches any substring of the application name. It applies across both tabs simultaneously; switch tabs to see the filtered results for each.

Application Types

Every app carries a type tag displayed in the Type column. The tag also includes the base device variant where applicable (e.g. Web App / Desktop, Web App / Mobile, Module / Desktop).

List Columns

The default view shows the following columns. Click the Columns menu (the column- picker icon at the top-right of the table header) to show or hide additional columns.

Note: Audit hover tooltip. Hovering over any value in the Last Updated column displays the precise timestamp and the name of the user responsible for the last change — useful for quick auditing without navigating to the app's version history.

Row Actions

Each application row has an overflow (⋯) menu that exposes the following actions:

  • Edit Details — opens a side panel to update the app's name, tags, and description. The app type, subdomain, and base device variant are read-only after creation.

  • Clone — creates an independent copy of the application in the same or a different workspace. Not available for packages.

  • Share — opens the Share dialog to grant other users or teams access to the application.

  • Delete — permanently removes the application after confirmation. System applications cannot be deleted.

Note: System apps cannot be deleted. Applications in the System Applications tab are platform-managed. The Delete action does not appear in their row menu.

Creating Applications

The New Application Split Button

In the top-right corner of the Applications Manager, the New Application button is a split button. Clicking the main label opens the Create Application flow. Clicking the dropdown arrow next to it reveals three choices:

  • Create Application — "Start with standard templates or create custom design solutions." Opens the standard or AI-powered application creation wizard.

  • Create Module — "Create a reusable component across multiple applications." Creates a standalone module that can be embedded in one or more web or mobile apps.

  • Create Package — "Bundles multiple apps & modules with shared user access control." Creates a package to group apps and modules under a unified permissions model.

Note: A base domain must be configured before you can create apps. If no base domain has been set for your workspace, the New Application button (and all three dropdown options) is disabled. Contact your workspace administrator to configure the base domain before proceeding.

Empty State

When no applications exist in the workspace yet, the list displays the empty-state message:

The empty state still shows the New Application split button so you can create your first app immediately.

Steps: Creating a New Application

  1. Open the Applications Manager from the workspace home screen.

  2. Click the New Application split button. To create a module or package instead, click the dropdown arrow and select Create Module or Create Package.

  3. If the AI builder is enabled, you will see the AI creation screen. To create a blank app manually, select Or start blank → Create Manually.

  4. Fill in the creation form (app type, name, subdomain, etc.) and click Create. See Create an Application for field-level details.

  5. The builder opens automatically. Choose a starting template (e.g., Blank Page) or select a pre-built template to customize.

Cloning an Application

Cloning creates an entirely independent copy of an application — it shares no data, pages, or configurations with the original after the clone is made. Cloning is useful for creating variants, sandboxes, or starting points for a new project.

Note: Packages cannot be cloned. The Clone action is only available for Web Apps, Mobile Apps, Copilot Chats, Displays, Text to App apps, and Modules.

Steps: Cloning an Application

  1. In the Applications Manager list, hover over the app you want to clone and click its ⋯ menu.

  2. Select Clone. The Clone dialog opens.

  3. Update the Name field if desired. The default is {Original Name} (Clone).

  4. Update the Sub-domain field if desired. The default is {original-id}-clone. The subdomain must be unique within the workspace.

  5. Select the target Workspace if you want to clone into a different workspace.

  6. Click Clone. The copy appears in the Applications list and is immediately editable.

Sharing an Application

The Share action grants other users or teams access to an application without transferring ownership. Shared apps appear in the recipient's Applications Manager with the permissions level you configured.

  1. Click the ⋯ menu on the app row and select Share.

  2. In the Share dialog, search for a user by name or email address, or search for a team name.

  3. Choose a permission level (e.g., Viewer, Editor, Admin) from the dropdown next to the user or team entry.

  4. Click Share (or Update if updating existing access).

Deleting an Application

Deleting an application is permanent and cannot be undone. All pages, data bindings, events, configurations, and version history associated with the app are removed.

  1. Click the ⋯ menu on the app row and select Delete.

  2. Read the confirmation dialog carefully: Confirmation dialog textDelete Application? This action cannot be undone.

  3. Click Delete to confirm. The app is immediately removed from the list.

Note: Deletion is permanent. There is no recycle bin or recovery mechanism for deleted applications. Ensure you have exported or backed up any necessary assets before deleting.
