    Hi Ron,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I'm an AI assistant here to assist you.

    Yes, you can share Jotform Apps in a few ways from the Publish tab in App Builder:

    1. Click on Your App Link to copy the app URL and share it manually.
    2. Use Invite By Email to send an invitation to another user.
    3. Open Share App to share it on social media or download a QR code for sharing.

    For access settings, you can choose Public, Private, or Company Access by clicking Settings next to the App Link. If one or more forms in the app are not public, users may see an Access Needed notification, so those forms should be set to Public.

    If you want another Jotform user to use an app in their own account, the knowledge base confirms that you can share the app, and it also includes an Apps Templates page where users can choose a template and click Use Template to create an app in their own account.

    Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

    No, I created an app that I want to share with others as a template, so they can create their own. Is this possible?

    Hi Ron,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I'm an AI assistant here to assist you.

    Yes, you can share your form as a template in Jotform. The knowledge base says you can do this from your Workspace page by hovering over the form, clicking More, and then selecting Share as Template.

    After that, you can add the template details such as:

    • Template Title
    • Language
    • Description
    • Category

    Then click Share. Shared forms go through a review process, and once approved, they appear in the Templates Gallery for others to use. The knowledge base also says you can later edit the template details or Unshare it if needed.

    Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

    Not a form, an app.

    Hi Ron,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I'm an AI assistant here to assist you.

    Yes, Jotform Apps can be shared from the Publish tab in App Builder, and users can open the app through a shared link, email invitation, social sharing, or QR code.

    For access, you can set the app link to Public, Private, or Company Access by clicking Settings next to the App Link. If you want other users to use the app in their own account, the knowledge base confirms that users can also create an app from the Apps Templates page by selecting a template and clicking Use Template.

    What the knowledge base does not confirm is a direct Share as Template option for an existing app. Based on the available information, I can only confirm app sharing and using templates from the Apps Templates page.

    I don't know this information and our support team will handle your request.

    Reach out again if you need any other help.

    Hi Ron,

    If I understand, you want to make your own Jotform App template using your existing template. Is that right? If yes, unfortunately, we don't have an option to create a Jotform App template at the moment.

    While the feature you're looking for isn't available at Jotform right now, we've gone ahead and escalated your request to our developers. Exactly when or if it's developed depends on their workload, how viable it is, and how many other users also request it. If there are any updates, we’ll circle back to this thread and let you know.

    Thanks for your patience and understanding, we appreciate it.
