# Approved app

When Make approves your app, your app becomes available to all Make users in their scenarios. To the users, an app developed by Make looks the same as the app developed by you. You need to take your custom app's management responsibly, since any Make user might be using your custom app in their scenario.

After a custom app is published, Make provides you with a **development version** of your custom app. You can find the development version of your app by searching for your app in the scenario editor:

The search now has two results:

<table><thead><tr><th width="246.9630126953125" valign="top">App</th><th valign="top">Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td valign="top">App name with a <strong>custom app</strong> tag</td><td valign="top">This is a <strong>development version</strong> of your app that only you can see and work with. When you update your custom app, the <strong>development version</strong> of your app will have your changes.</td></tr><tr><td valign="top">App name without a tag</td><td valign="top">This is a <strong>public version</strong> of your app. Anyone can use this version of the app. Changes to this version have to be approved by Make.</td></tr></tbody></table>

If you need to make changes to the app's **public version**, you have to test your changes in the version labeled **custom app** first.

When you are done with the updates and testing, review the [Updating your apps article](/custom-apps-documentation/app-maintenance/updating-your-app.md) for the next steps.

It is important to keep your app up to date and react to API changes on time, e.g. when the API is going to shut down. You also need to fix issues reported by users.
