Sheetward User Guide

Publishing & archiving

When an app is ready to live beyond Sheetward, an owner of the app can take it along. Export as Standalone App (owners only) — from the app's ⋯ menu on My Apps, or the Export button inside the app — downloads a self-contained copy of the app — its design, its records and a small program that runs it — ready to deploy anywhere you choose. The first time you export each app you read and accept the Standalone App License for it — once per app; a new license version asks again — and the text travels in the export as LICENSE.txt. Publishing marks the app as Published.

• What's in a standalone app. The app's design, its records and a small program that runs it — everything it needs to work on its own, anywhere.
• A published app can't be deleted — its standalone app may already be running somewhere else. Archive it instead when you're done with it.
• Publishing needs — and uses — an annual plan. Publishing standalone apps is an annual-billing benefit, and a standalone app is yours to keep and run outside Sheetward, so publishing one uses up the value of your annual term. It ends your money-back window, and the term isn't refunded if you cancel later. You can still cancel — canceling stops the next renewal and runs to the end of the term you've paid for. Before every export, Sheetward reminds you what publishing means — the app is marked Published, stays in your catalog and can no longer be deleted — and, while your money-back window is still open, that exporting closes it.
