Legacy admin: Apps

Retired legacy admin archive. Fresh and the former deco.cx admin are retired. Use released Blocks 7.x for the website runtime and Studio Site Editor for current content work. This page preserves the former deco.cx admin workflow and screenshots. For the Studio Site Editor, use the current editor guides. Migration notes explain the change.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have a ready Deco site, and the desired App should be available in the Apps directory. If you're unsure how to do this, refer to the tutorial on making an app installable.

Installing the App

2. Choose the Target Site: After logging in, select the specific site where you want to install the App. You will be directed to the site's homepage.
