Publishing and Updating Add-ons in the Registry

If you're a registered Jive Developer, you can publish your add-on to the Add-ons Registry. Jive reviews the published add-ons, and, if the review is successful, all Jive communities will be able to install the add-on. Furthermore, if you add improvements to your add-on after publishing it, you can push updates to the Registry so other communities can benefit from those changes.

Note: To publish or update your add-on in the Jive Add-ons Registry, you need to be part of the Technology Partner group.
