# Publishing your App

After building your Squirrel365 app the final step is to publish it so that it can be shared and used outside of the Squirrel365 Designer<br>

### Publishing to the Cloud

Projects are published and hosted on the Squirrel365 cloud. From there they can easily be shared via a link or embedding a webpage (See the [Project Manager tutorial](https://squirrel365.io/knowledgebase/using-the-project-manager/) for more information about sharing your projects.)&#x20;

#### Publishing an App

To publish a project:

1. Enter **Preview** mode
2. Select the **Publish** button in the top right of the preview screen
3. Give the Project/App a name&#x20;
4. Click **publish**

### Viewing published Apps

After publishing your app the **Project Manager** will load.

To open your App in a browser hover over the thumbnail image and click **Open in Browser.**

The Project Manager is where you can change the status of your apps (make them live or draft), get  share links and the embed code, access previous versions and more.&#x20;
