# Sharing published applications
<a name="application-share"></a>

When you publish an application that has not been published yet, it is not available for users until it is shared. Once a published application has been shared, it will be available to users and will not need to be shared again if another version is published.

**Note**  
This section is about sharing published applications with end users or testers. For information about inviting other users to build an app, see [Building an app with multiple users](builder-collaboration.md).

**To share a published application**

1. Access the **Share** dialog box from either the application list, or the application studio of your app by using the following instructions:
   + To access the **Share** dialog box from the application list: In the navigation pane, choose **My applications** in the **Build** section. Choose the dropdown in the **Actions** column of the application you want to share and choose **Share**.
   + To access the **Share** dialog box from the application studio: From the application studio of your app, choose **Share** in the top header.

1. In the **Share** dialog box, choose the tab for the environment that you want to share. If you do not see the **Testing** or **Production** tabs, your app may not be published to the corresponding environment. For more information about publishing, see [Publishing applications](applications-publish.md).

1. In the appropriate tab, select groups from the dropdown menu to share the environment with them.

1. (Optional) Assign an app-level role to the group for testing or configuring conditional page visibiity. For more information, see [Configuring role-based visibility of pages](app-level-roles.md).

1. Choose **Share**.

1. (Optional) Copy and share the link with users. Only users that the application and environment have been shared with can access the application in the corresponding environment.
