Rolling out a new beta app configuration experience
Starting on October 7, 2021, we will start rolling out a new beta app configuration experience. This new UI will allow you to directly edit an app's manifest to update its configuration.
What's changing
From October 7, 2021, we'll start rolling out a new banner in your app configuration pages:
If you click Try it out now your configuration UI will change to our new manifest-oriented experience. You'll instantly see changes to the side navigation and the app summary screen:
All your previous tokens and app details are still accessible here, but you're no longer able to edit them. Instead, you'll use the manifest editor, as we'll now explain.
Updating an app config using the new UI
To edit your app configuration, click on the App Manifest item in the side bar of your app configuration pages. You'll see an editor UI like this:
Using this editor you can modify your app's configuration using any of the valid manifest schema fields, as outlined here. Read our guide to using app manifests for more information.
How do I prepare?
As this experience is opt-in, you don't need to do anything to prepare.
During the beta, if you opted in, you will still be able to return to the classic configuration interface by clicking Revert to the old design in the side bar.
When does this happen?
The beta opt-in will begin rolling out from October 7, 2021. Don’t see the new experience yet? We probably haven’t rolled it out to your workspace yet, but we'll get there soon!
