Manage app info
Where the app's name, icon, and description live, and how each of them shows up for your coworkers.
App console → Overview tab holds your app's information.
What you edit here is exactly what coworkers see in the list and the store.
Only the app owner and company admins can edit it.
What you edit, and where it shows
| Field | Where it shows |
|---|---|
| App name | The name that identifies the app in the list and the store. It's how coworkers find it |
| Icon | The image beside the name in the list and store. Upload a dark-mode version and it's used on dark screens |
| Summary | The short line under the name in the list. It's how people tell what the app does |
| Description | The long text shown when someone opens the app in the store. Put usage notes and caveats here |
| Category | How it's grouped in the store. Optional, but setting it lets people find it alongside similar apps |
This information is only visible to people who can see the app. However well you write it, nobody else sees it on a private app — visibility is set in Visibility & access.
What's shown alongside
The same screen shows the connected GitHub account, repository, and branch. It's there so you can see which code this app deploys from, so it's read-only. To point at a different repository, reconnect GitHub.
What you can't change
| Field | Why |
|---|---|
| Address | The subdomain you chose when creating the app becomes its address. It can't be changed afterward |
| Slug | It's how the app is identified inside your company, and commands and config are keyed to it |
| Deploy method | Whether it deploys as docker, compose, or static is fixed when the app is created |
Changing any of these means creating a new app — which is why they're worth a second look when you create one.
On an externally public app you can attach your own domain instead of the default address. It's in the app console's Domains tab, up to 10 per app.
You've succeeded when
The name and icon you edited show up in the app list and store.
