Launch announcements
Design ID is now in GA, so if you’ve been building apps that use it, you are now able to submit these for review and publish them when approved. Thank you to everyone who tested Design ID while it was in Beta and provided feedback!
Design ID allows apps to associate data with a design, thus enabling the app to save state or settings that persist per design.
For security reasons, Design ID is encoded inside a JSON Web Token (JWT) and must be decoded on the app’s backend, not the frontend. To learn more, read the getDesignToken API reference, or refer to our Design IDs guide to learn how to use Design IDs correctly.
New API in Beta: Tables API allows apps to add tables to a user’s design. Apps can also set text content of table cells, set cell color, and merge cells.
To learn more about how to use Tables in your design, read the guide to creating tables.
Reminder: please provide feedback on Image Overlays while it’s in beta. We’re working on fixing the remaining known bugs and aiming to release this API to GA in the near future, so we’d love to get more feedback from developers to ensure it meets your needs.
Apps using APIs that are currently in Beta cannot be released to the Apps Marketplace, but Overlays will likely launch to GA soon, so if you want your app to be one of the first to use Overlays, start trying it out now. We look forward to seeing what you build with these APIs!
