How apps work
- Bundled, not downloaded. The store lists the apps your Collabase version contains. A new app arrives with an update, not from a marketplace.
- Installed per installation. Installing switches the app on for the whole installation. There is no per-Space installation.
- Uninstalling keeps the data. An uninstalled app disappears for everyone, but its data and settings stay. Install it again and everything is back.
- Recorded. Every installation and uninstallation is written to the audit log.
Find an app
Open Settings → Extensibility → App Store. Under the title you see how many apps are installed, for example 1 of 1 apps installed. The apps are listed by topic, one row per app, with its name, a short description and a button on the right: View for an app that is not installed, Open for one that is.
Click an app row or View to open its details. The dialog shows the app with a row of facts, About this app and Access and data. The facts:
Access and data lists, as cards, what the app reads, what it creates or changes when someone confirms it, and which content it sends to the AI provider you configured. Read it before you install.

An app that needs Collabase AI stays installed when AI is switched off later. It then tells its users itself that AI is missing.
Configure an installed app
Some apps have settings that apply to the whole installation. Once such an app is installed, its settings page appears in the settings menu right after App Store, and the app’s dialog in the store shows Settings. The Requirement Traceability Matrix app, for example, has the tabs Overview, Generation, Transfer and Activity:Uninstall an app
