Big news from the Open Exchange platform!
We've been busy behind the scenes, not just giving the place a new look but also packing in some nifty features we think you'll love—many of which were inspired by your requests and feedback. It's all part of our ongoing mission to boost the quality of the apps and ensure the world sees the incredible work you're putting in. From streamlining your workflow to boosting collaboration, our aim is to support and highlight your creativity. Excited for you to explore and experience the new enhancements!

We're excited to announce a new feature on Open Exchange - app dependencies. Now, when you visit an app's page, you can easily see which other Open Exchange apps it depends on and which apps depend on it. This information is conveniently available in respective tabs, providing you with valuable insights.

The best part is, we automatically gather this information from IPM data, eliminating the need for manual data entry when submitting or managing your app. 

Your feedback is highly appreciated! Comment or DM us your thoughts.

Thanks!

Hi Community,

Just to make sure you're up-to-date with the latest happenings on Open Exchange as there have been some updates that you might have missed, but could be really helpful for you. Take a look and see if any of them can benefit you in your work!

On the ANALYTICS tab of your app, you can now find detailed statistics on the number of installs of your app through IPM (formerly ZPM)

If you utilize Quality Code Analyzer  in your open source application this will be shown on Open Exchange:

1. On the main OEx page you can filter all the apps which passed Object Script Quality test

2. On the public application page (example) you will see that in info box:

3. On the page where you manage your apps you will see the quality check status:

No Data - if the Quality check is not installed in your repo
Passed - if the code passed the test
Failed - if the test was failed. This won't be shown on public app page
