Install a Blocks App on a Site

Install and reuse any Blocks app you created or collaborate with, as many times as you want. You can install the app on any site you own or collaborate with.

Before you install the app, make sure to configure its Installation Settings in Blocks.

Install your app

  1. Click the App Market  icon in your Editor.
  2. Click Custom Apps.
  3. Click Available Apps and select the app you want to install. 

Note: If your app only has code files and no widgets, turn on Dev Mode to be able to install it.

  1. Click Install App
  2. Wait for the success message. 

You'll get the most updated version release. 


Change the installed app version

To move between app versions, hover over the More Actions icon  next to your app's name. If you released a new major version, you'll see an indication next to the app name.

If you want to install your app just for testing purposes without releasing a version, go back to Blocks and test your app in the editor.

Add widgets to a site page

If your app has widgets that are not automatically added to the page, you can add them to any page on your site:  

  1. Click Add Elements   on the left side of the Editor.
  2. Click App Widgets.
  3. Select your widget and drag it onto the page. You may have the option to choose between several design presets.

Note: In the Studio Editor, your app widgets are at the top of the elements list. In the Wix Editor, they appear at the end.
