What do I need to start?
Add your app and create a saved listing version. Open Store listing → Listing updates, choose that version and its original language, then add the languages and saved screenshot projects you want to work on. Preparing an update is free.
Which parts need a paid plan?
Preparing and editing an update is free. Translation shows its token cost before you confirm. Approved wording, batch screenshot refresh, private client review links, store reports, native experiment records and outcome comparisons require paid access or an eligible trial. Pro screenshot collections have their own access requirements; a subscription does not unlock every collection automatically.
Does saving or approving an update publish it?
No. Save changes keeps your work in AppDrift. Copy changes to drafts applies reviewed text to your saved listing and screenshot drafts. Sending supported listing fields to a connected store is a separate action in the version editor. Screenshot images are edited, exported or uploaded separately in the screenshot editor.
Can I reuse a translation without spending tokens again?
Yes, when it is an exact approved match for the same app, source text, field, language and relevant context. That match is reused without an AI call or token charge. Changed or unmatched text needs a fresh review and, if you request AI translation, a new quote.
Can I refresh all my app screens at once?
In the screenshot editor, open Refresh screenshots and map new image files to existing screenshot layers. AppDrift remembers mappings for later updates while preserving the campaign layout. Review the replacements before export. Separate Zoom detail layers keep their own image sources and must be updated separately.
Do I need performance results to use Listing updates?
No. Start with editing, translation and review. After a store update, add supported Apple Downloads or Google acquisition reports when you have them. Missing data stays unavailable. Native experiment results are records you enter yourself; AppDrift does not launch those experiments or independently verify their results.
