How To Edit Published Qlik Sense Apps on Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows

Previously published Apps cannot be directly edited in place. A copy needs to be created, which can then be modified and used to replace the previous version.

This ensures that users are not interrupted as the app is in use.

Note: If you do not have the appropriate permissions to duplicate the app, or the security rules have been modified, you may not see the required menu. Please contact your Qlik Sense administrator to have your permissions reviewed.

Note: These instructions apply for Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows. Qlik Cloud functions similarly, with slight variations depending if using Managed or Shared Space.

Early versions of Qlik Sense Enterprise may not have the option to duplicate and replace from the hub yet. You can still duplicate the applications from the QMC in that case.

Duplicate the published app in QMC > Apps > More actions > Duplicate
Duplicated app created as <app name>(1)
Go to hub, you will find the duplicate app in Work stream
Open the app, edit the app (e.g. edit data load, edit sheets, add/remove bookmarks)
Go to QMC > Apps, select <app name>(1), press Publish
In Publish app dialog, select Stream, tick Replace existing app checkbox
Press [Select an existing app to replicate] under App to replace
In Select an already published app to replace it dialog, select the app, press OK
In Publish app dialog, press OK
In Confirm replace dialog, press Publish and replace
