<h1>Publish</h1>
<!-- -->
<p>
Packaged apps are still evolving.
We're giving you an early look at how to build them,
but it's a developer preview;
they aren't ready yet for building production applications.
</p>
<p>This means that you can't just yet publish your packaged apps
in the Chrome Web Store &mdash; but you will be able to do so very soon.</p>
<p>What you can do (as described throughout this guide),
is load your unpackaged app to the apps and extensions management page
and try out your app from a new tab in the Chrome browser.</p>
<p>In case you haven't tried it yet,
here's how to load your app:</p>
<ol>
<li style="margin-top:0" />
Bring up the apps and extensions management page
by clicking the wrench icon
<img src="{{static}}/images/toolsmenu.gif" width="29" height="29" alt=""
style="margin-top:0" />
and choosing <b>Tools > Extensions</b>.
</li>
<li>
Make sure the <b>Developer mode</b>
checkbox has been selected.
</li>
<li>
Click the <b>Load unpacked extension</b> button.
A file dialog appears.
</li>
<li>
In the file dialog,
navigate to your extension's folder
and click <b>OK</b>.
</li>
</ol>
