Distributing Applications and Components

As an ISV or Salesforce partner, you can package and distribute applications and components to other Salesforce users and organizations, including those outside your company.

Publish applications and components to and install them from AppExchange.

A managed package ensures that your application and other resources are fully upgradeable. To create and work with managed packages, you must use a Developer Edition organization and register a namespace prefix. A managed package includes your namespace prefix in the component names and prevents naming conflicts in an installer’s organization. After a managed package is released, the application or component names are locked, but the package developer can still edit these attributes.
