Upcoming - Shareable Apps GA

Shareable Apps (formerly known as “Global Apps”) are moving into a full GA release! As a part of this rollout, there are a number of changes to Benchling Apps and app-related features coming over the next few months. Check out the Shareable Apps FAQ for more details and stay tuned for subsequent announcements.

What’s changing?

Shareable Apps (formerly Global Apps) is an umbrella term that includes a number of new features and improvements that establish a new standard for Benchling apps. Shareable Apps have been designed to improve the experience of both creating and installing apps, and provide better support for managing apps independently from the tenant in which they were created.

Some specific improvements include:

• Defining and managing app identity and configuration details globally in a single tenant
• Support for one-click app install via a shareable install link
• Support for creating and publishing new app versions
• Support for defining the audience of an app, allowing for both private and public apps

This list is not exhaustive; for more specific information on the differences between shareable and legacy apps, check out the Shareable Apps FAQ.

When is this happening?

Shareable Apps are currently in beta! Many new features are already available to beta participants; if you are interested in early access to Shareable Apps, please reach out to your Benchling representative.

Shareable Apps are currently in the process of being rolled out more broadly, and will be made generally available over the next couple of months. Stay tuned for subsequent changelog posts detailing more specific releases, deprecations, and sunsets being made as a part of the Shareable Apps release!
