# The app workspace

The app workspace brings management and the running experience together. Open it from **Apps**. The header identifies the app, its status, engine information, and latest activity. The section links have their own addresses, so you can bookmark or share a particular management view with someone who already has permission to access it.

## Workspace sections

| Section | Purpose |
| --- | --- |
| **Overview** | Use the app, start or stop its sandbox, extend a timed lease, and open its address. |
| **Parameters** | Change the template-defined behavior, model selection, and optional connector policy. |
| **Data** | Inspect input sources and published outputs; open document tools where supported. |
| **Workflows** | See the workflows referenced by the app and open their details. |
| **Connections** | See connections used by those workflows, including ones switched off for the app. |
| **Activity** | Review recent workflow runs and app validation results. |
| **Versions** | Inspect definition history, engine upgrades, and fixed shared releases. |
| **Settings** | Edit the app's name, description, lifecycle, and sharing. |

Sections appear when they apply to the app. A fixed-template app without a stored definition has no definition history. **Parameters** appears for apps provisioned with a parameter contract; an app without one cannot acquire parameters simply by visiting that address.

## Use and manage

**Open** launches the app experience; the workspace also embeds supported apps in Overview. Some apps open separately instead of embedding. The **Edit app** action opens the builder for apps with editable definitions. **Save as template** captures a reusable starter, and portable export downloads a transferable package when enabled.

The workspace's app address identifies the experience, but access still follows sharing. A teammate or external visitor who can use the app does not automatically gain management rights, parameter access, or access to its review controls.

## Read status carefully

Starting, stopping, restoring, and deleting are operations with progress. Wait for the reported outcome before taking a conflicting action. A resource marked **Unavailable** could not be loaded; it is not proof that it was deleted. A **Missing workflow** message identifies a broken reference that needs to be changed in the editor.

See [Lifecycle](/docs/apps/lifecycle), [Activity](/docs/apps/activity), and [Data dependencies](/docs/apps/dependencies) for the corresponding management tasks.
