Once the extension is published, it is available for all Zoho users to install and use. However, managing your apps after publishing them plays a vital role in maintaining the sanity of the apps. Managing your app includes making new updates to the app by adding new features or enhancements, fixing existing bugs, updating the description of the app constantly based on the new updates, and so on. Let us see how to manage your existing apps in this article.
