Package the Canvas App

Packaging is the first step in making your canvas app available for installation in another org.

To package the canvas app, follow one of these methods.

• If you used an external client app for your canvas app, package the app using a second-generation managed package. This is the recommended approach.

• If you used a connected app for your canvas app, package the app using a first-generation managed package.

• Package the External Client App for Canvas

  After you created the canvas app, tested it in the Canvas App Previewer, and deployed it to Heroku, you’re ready to package and distribute it.

• Package the Connected App for Canvas

  After you created the canvas app, tested it in the Canvas App Previewer, and deployed it to Heroku, you’re ready to package and distribute it.

• Upload the Canvas Connected App Package

  Now that you packaged the canvas app, you’re ready to upload the package.

• Install the Canvas App

  Uploading the packaged canvas app creates the installation link. You can then use this link to install the canvas app in another org.
