From a saved version to reviewed drafts

One update. Clear next steps.

  1. 01

    Edit & translate

    Start from a saved listing version. Review original text and translations together, with store field limits and fields that need attention. Select only the text you want AI to translate and review its token quote.

  2. 02

    Get approval, if you need it

    Share a private preview of that update with a client. They can review listing text and screenshot designs, leave comments or approve the version you shared.

  3. 03

    Use the reviewed changes

    Copy the reviewed text into your saved drafts. Open the version editor when you are ready to send supported listing changes to your connected store. Saving or approving here leaves your live listing unchanged.

Find it in Apps → your app → Store listing → Listing updates. Start with a saved version; add screenshot captions when you need them.

Keep the work you have already done

Make repeat updates easier.

These tools are available with paid access or an eligible trial. Compare plans and limits.

Approved wording

Keep your app’s language consistent.

Save reviewed translations and preferred terms for each app. An exact approved match can be reused on a later update without another AI call or token charge.

Matches depend on the original text, field, language and context. New wording still needs review. Open Approved wording from Listing updates.

Batch screenshot refresh

New app screens. Same campaign.

Bring your latest app captures into an existing design. Map files to screenshot layers once; remembered mappings help replace the right images on later updates while keeping your layout.

Open Refresh screenshots in the screenshot editor. Review every replacement and localized layout. Zoom detail layers remain independent and need their own replacement.

Private client reviews

Give reviewers one version to check.

Create an expiring private link to the listing and screenshot preview you want reviewed. Clients can comment or approve without editing your working drafts. Revoke the link when it is no longer needed.

Anyone with the private link can open it until it expires or is revoked. Approval applies to the shared version; later changes need a new review. Approval never sends anything to a store.

Store reports & experiment records

Add evidence when you have it.

Import supported Apple Downloads or Google acquisition exports with their date coverage and source. Keep manually entered results from Apple or Google native experiments with your app’s update history.

You can prepare and review updates before you have results. Review each report’s source and date coverage; missing data stays unavailable. Imported reports and manually recorded experiments are not independently verified or proof that an update caused a change.

You choose when to send

Reviewed here.
Sent in a separate step.

Store connections and paid access are required to send supported listing changes. App store review and availability still apply. Screenshot images are handled separately: upload supported screenshots to App Store Connect from the screenshot editor, or export them for manual Google Play upload.

Before you begin

A few things to know.

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.

Get the next update ready.

Start with one app and a saved listing version. No performance results needed.
