Share your Genesis apps globally, monetize premium solutions, and fork complete applications with one click. {% endhint %} *** ## πŸ“€ **Publish and Share Your Apps** Share your Genesis creations with the world through publishing and cloning capabilities. ### **Publishing Apps** Make your apps available to anyone with a link, creating public or private access points for your solutions. **Publishing Benefits:** * **Direct Access**: Users can interact with your app through a dedicated URL * **No Installation Required**: Works immediately in any browser * **Version Control**: Update your published app while maintaining the same link * **Monetization Ready**: Foundation for future paywall and premium features **Publishing Options:** * **Public Apps**: Discoverable and accessible to anyone with the link * **Private Apps**: Require specific permissions or passwords for access ### **App Visibility Settings** Choose how people access your published app: **Public Apps:** * Anyone with the link can access and use your app * No authentication required * Ideal for marketing, demonstrations, or free tools **Private Apps:** * Require user authentication to access * Control who can use your app * Suitable for client portals or internal tools ### **Unpublishing Apps** You can always unpublish your app if needed: 1. **Open your Genesis app** in your workspace 2. **Click the Publish dropdown** in the top toolbar 3. **Select "Unpublish"** 4. **Confirm the action** **Note:** Unpublishing immediately removes public access, but the URL becomes inactive. Users who bookmarked the link will lose access. ### **Enabling Cloning** Allow others to create complete copies of your app in their own workspaces. **Cloning Features:** * **One-Click Duplication**: Users can clone your entire app with a single click * **Complete Fidelity**: All projects, agents, automations, and media files are copied * **Independent Operation**: Cloned apps function completely independently * **Customization Freedom**: Users can modify cloned apps without affecting the original ### **When to Use Templates vs. Cloning** **Use Templates When:** * You want to provide starting points for customization * Users need to adapt the app significantly for their use case * You're sharing incomplete or example workflows **Use Cloning When:** * Your app is a complete, working solution * Users should have immediate functionality without setup * You want to share proven, production-ready workflows ## 🍴 **Revolutionary App Forking** The most powerful way to learn and build is by starting with working solutions. Genesis now lets you fork (copy) any community app with complete fidelity. ### **What is App Forking?** Forking creates a complete, independent copy of a Genesis app in your workspace. Unlike simple templates, forking gives you: * **Complete Workspace Clone**: All projects, agents, automations, and media files * **Working Integrations**: Connections and workflows that function immediately * **Full Customization Rights**: Modify, rebrand, and extend however you want * **Independent Evolution**: Your forked app develops separately from the original ### **One-Click Complete Duplication** When you fork a Genesis app, you get: | What Gets Copied | Details | | ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- | | **🎨 App Interface** | Complete layout, styling, and user experience | | **πŸ“Š Projects & Data** | All project structures with example data | | **πŸ€– AI Agents** | Trained agents with their knowledge and personalities | | **⚑ Automations** | Working workflows and integrations | | **πŸ“ Media Files** | Images, documents, and assets | | **πŸ”§ Configuration** | Settings, permissions, and customizations | ### **Professional Use Cases** **For Agencies:** * Fork client portal templates and customize for each client * Start with proven solutions instead of building from scratch * Maintain consistent quality across client projects **For Entrepreneurs:** * Copy successful business models and adapt to your market * Learn from working examples of complex workflows * Accelerate time-to-market with proven foundations **For Teams:** * Share internal tools across departments * Standardize processes with working templates * Enable non-technical team members to deploy solutions *** ## 🌍 Sharing Your App with Everyone ### What Happens When You Share?
