How to Publish Your App Live on STQRY Guide

Once you’ve finished building your app, you can publish it live on STQRY Guide so your audience can access it. Follow the steps below to review, preview, and publish your content.

Publishing Your App for the First Time

When your app is ready to go live, contact your assigned Customer Success Manager. We’ll review your content with you and help link your project to the STQRY Guide platform.

On STQRY Guide, your app’s landing page will appear as a Story Screen

Updating Your App After It’s Live

After your app is live, you can continue editing and previewing updates before publishing them.

To preview:

1. Link your updated content to the app. This means adding new or edited pieces of content to your existing app structure. For step-by-step instructions, please refer to the guide linked here.
2. Open the app in the STQRY Preview App to review your changes.

Information about downloading the STQRY Preview App can be found on your Project Overview page.

When you’re satisfied with your edits:

Contact your Account Admin to publish the updated content.

The Admin should open the Project Overview page and click Publish. The status moves from Pending to Processing and finally to Complete, when the publishing finishes. These changes need an update action from the STQRY team and take approximately 24-48 hours to go live.

How to view updates in the app: go to the Profile tab, select Settings, then select Check for updated content. If your app doesn't have the Favorites or Badges feature enabled, you'll see a Settings tab instead of Profile. If you don't manually refresh, the app updates automatically with the new content within 24–36 hours when connected to the internet.

The screenshot shows the “Check for Updated Content” button on the STQRY Guide web app.

Publishing usually takes 1–2 minutes, but large projects or busy times can take up to 30 minutes.

Only Account Admins can publish updates. Other users will see a note reminding them to contact an Admin when they’re ready to go live.

If you have a Portal app, the Admin on the parent account should publish the app after linking the content to it. Once the content is linked, the Admin of a child account can publish any future updates made within it directly. There’s no need to contact the parent account again.
