This is the second step of the listing submission process. Please make sure to read the best practices described below before filling in the Upload form fields.
1. Listing Title
(50 characters max.)
This is one of the most important listing elements. It influences your reach on the Marketplace search results and represents the initial filter for the users when deciding if the listing has the potential to fit their needs. Please check the below best practices to guide you when picking one:
DOs | DON’Ts |
|---|---|
|
|
The title should not start with the name of the software/system where the listing can be used.2. Icon
In this section, you can upload a custom image to be displayed on your listing’s card. The image needs to be representative of your listing’s main idea and should contain simple symbols.
Don’t use images that you do not own the rights for.
Note:
The above fields are applicable only to Downloadable content.
Version
Start with version 0.0. Every change made before publishing the Content increases the decimal index. When the first or a new version of the Content is published, it changes the version to 1.0.
Release Notes
Fill in this section with details about this release and each new version you will be adding afterward.
3. Tags
(20 characters per tag max.)
Indicate up to 5 relevant tags that will help users find your listing more easily. By tags, we mean terms associated with your listing. They are used in the search box to find listings with similar tags. As a suggestion, try to break tags into single words instead of putting whole phrases. It can simplify the search process.
For example, if your listing is intended to work with GSuite, you can consider adding the following tags: docs, drive, email, Gmail, GSuite.
Note:
If the tags are not provided by you during the submission, our team will add them based on the overall submitted information. However, we strongly believe it’s much more helpful when you add these yourself.
4. Summary
(200 characters max.)
Summarize your listing in a short phrase that will best explain what it is about.

8. Video
Please add relevant presentation videos, demos to your listing. Make sure they are in YouTube or Vimeo format. Those assets can influence the perception of the audience and increase the trustworthiness of the content even before downloading it.
