+## Introduction
+
+The Mendix Marketplace is driven by contributions from community members who share the connectors, modules, and apps they have built with the Mendix Platform.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Before diving in, make sure you have read [Marketplace Overview](/appstore/overview/) and [Using Marketplace Content](/appstore/use-content/).
+
+## Adding New Marketplace Content {#adding}
+
+To get started, click **Add Content** in the left pane of the Marketplace home screen. You are presented with the **Before You Get Started** dialog, which outlines the resources you will need for uploading your component.
+
+Once you make sure you have everything, click **Next**, then go through the steps in the following sections to add content.    
+Some fields are mandatory, while others are optional — this is indicated in the user interface.
+
+On each page of the upload flow, click one of these buttons:
+
+* **Save and Exit** — Save the details you have entered so far for the draft. You can access the draft via the [My Drafts](/appstore/home-page/#my-drafts) link in the top bar.
+* **Next** — Go to the next page of the upload flow.
+
+### Uploading a Component {#general}
+
+On the **Upload Component** tab, add the source file, and provide general information about your component.
+
+Follow these steps to add information about your component.    
+Some only apply to specific component types, so follow the on-screen prompts for your particular scenario.
+
+1. Add a **Component Name**.
+
+2. Select the **Component Type**.      
+   You can only set the content type when creating the initial version of your content. You cannot change this setting after it is published.
+
+3. Under **Select Component Source**, select one of the options for uploading the source file:     
+
+    * **MPK File** – Upload your source MPK.    
+    * **GitHub Link** – Follow the steps in the dialog box for copying the link of the release you want to import. For details, see the [Using a GitHub Repo](/appstore/guidelines-content-creators/#github) section in *Guidelines for Content Creators*.     
+      To include the repo's *README.md* file on the component's [Media & Documentation](#doc) tab, make sure you have selected the **Import Documentation** box. 
+
+    If you are uploading a solution, there will be no option to select the content source.    
+    If you are uploading an industry template, selecting a content source is optional.    
+
+4. Select the **Studio Pro Version** on which you built the content.    
+
+5. If you are uploading a widget, select the **Compatible with Mendix React Client** checkbox to indicate compatibility.    
+   This checkbox is mandatory starting with Studio Pro 11.
+
+6. Add a version for your component. If this is the first version of the component you are uploading, the number in the **Version** section will automatically be set to **1.0.0**. 
+
+7. Enter **Release Notes** for the component in the box provided, describing what is new in that release.
+
+8. If you are uploading a solution, enter an email address in the **Contact Sales** field. This will be used by customers to reach out to you.
+
+### Adding General Information
+
+On the **General Information** tab, add more details about your component.
+
+1. Upload a cover image.
+
+2. In the **Component Tagline**, include a short description of what your component does.
+
+3. In the **About** field, describe the purpose and use cases of your component in detail.    
+   You can use rich text in the editor. However, using rich text at the beginning of the description is not recommended, as it will not get rendered properly. You should add a few lines of regular text before using rich text.
+
+4. From the **Industry** drop-down list, select up to three industries that are applicable to your component.
+
+5. From the **Category** drop-down list, select up to three areas of expertise that are applicable to your component.
+
+### Configuring Support and Licensing {#support-licensing}
+
+On the **Support & Licensing** tab, add information about support, licensing, and visibility.
+
+1. Add your **Website**.
+
+2. Add the **Contact Email** of your support department.
+
+3. Select the **Visibility** of your component:
+
+    * **Public** – Your component will be available to the entire Mendix community.    
+      This content must be reviewed and approved by Mendix before it is available.
+    * **Private** – Your content will receive the **Private** label, and be available only via your [Company Content](/appstore/home-page/#company-content) page.    
+      Selected private content of a content group can also be made available to [content group guests](/appstore/home-page/#guests) for download.    
+      This content is not reviewed by Mendix.    
+
+    You can only set the visibility in the initial version of your content. You cannot change this setting by updating the Marketplace component later.
+
+4. Select the type of **License** you want applied to your app.    
+   For details about the available open-source software licenses and their requirements, refer to [Open-Source Software Licenses](/appstore/licenses/).
+
+5. In the **Development Team** field, add the email addresses of the developers who have contributed to and own the component.
+
+#### Proprietary Licenses {#proprietary-license} 
+
+You can configure your own proprietary license for your company’s content. The license can be applied to multiple components, and it can be used by everyone within your organization. 
+
+This license can be created for a new **Public Marketplace (all Mendix users)** component by requesting a new license and submitting it alongside the component. The license needs to be approved by Mendix after you have created and submitted it the first time. Once it has been submitted for approval, you and the people within your organization can also use it for other components.
+
+Follow these steps to configure a proprietary license for a new public component:
+
+1. Click **Request New License**.
+2. Add a **License Name**, which will be displayed on the [component details page](/appstore/component-details/).
+3. Add a **License URL**, which should lead the user to a web page that lists the terms and conditions for using the component. Users can navigate to this web page by clicking the license name on the component details page.
+4. Add a **Reason** for the new license. This is solely for Mendix review purposes, and will not be displayed on the component details page.
+
+### Adding Media and Documentation {#doc}
+
+On the **Media & Documentation** tab, add any resources to guide your users.
+
+1. Use the **Upload Screenshots** option to add a maximum of 10 screenshots of your component.
+
+2. In the **YouTube Video** field, add a URL for a demo of your component.
+
+3. In the **Documentation** field, add details on requirements and configuration for your component.   
+   Follow the template for the recommended content:
+
+    * You must fill out the following sections in order to submit your component:
+        * The **Typical usage scenario** for the component
+        * The **Features and limitations** of the component
+    * These sections are optional:
+        * Any **Dependencies** (for example, the required Studio Pro version, modules, images, and styles)
+        * The **Installation** steps and details
+        * The **Configuration** steps and details
+        * Any **Known bugs**
+        * Any **Frequently Asked Questions**
+
+   The editor comes with a set of basic formatting tools, such as bold, bullet lists, and URL links.
+
+4. In the **Resources** section, add up to 5 URLs for resources that your users might find useful, such as a GitHub URL.
+
+### Generating New Leads {#lead-generation} 
+
+<!-- to check and add under the correct heading -->
+
+A lead is a potential sales contact that expresses interest in your product or service. Lead routing is the end-to-end process of collecting the leads and distributing them to you. It is possible to configure lead routing for the following content types in the Marketplace:
+
+* Solutions
+* Industry templates
+
+When prospective customers are interested in your product, they can leave their contact information using the Marketplace product listing. This is done by clicking a call-to-action button and filling in a form.
+
+You can use one of these options as the name of your **Main call-to-action** button: 
+
+* **Contact Us**, **Notify Me**, and **Request Demo** – Requires the email address that will receive the customer information.
+
+    {{% alert color="warning" %}}If you choose to add one of these buttons, customers can contact you directly. If you start talking with the customer, it is your responsibility to provide access to the product for them. Mendix is not involved in such customer interactions. {{% /alert %}}
+
+* **Download** – No lead routing is established, but customers can directly download your product.
+
+In the **How would you like to receive information on new leads?** field, you must specify the email address or addresses where notifications and information can be sent.
+
+### Previewing the Component
+
+You can preview your component before publishing. To do that, click **Show Preview** on the **Media & Documentation** tab.
+
+From the preview window, you can either return to the editing flow, or publish the component.
+
+### Publishing {#publish} 
+
+<!-- to check and update -->
+
+Finally, on the **Publish** page, you can review all the details you entered so far, and edit them if necessary before publishing.
+
+{{< figure src="/attachments/appstore/submit-content/publish.png"   width="600" >}}
+
+After you click **Publish Content**, your draft will be reviewed by Mendix before it is visible in the Marketplace. 
+
+For details on the approval process, see [Governance Process](/appstore/submit-content/governance-process/).
+
+## Updating Existing Marketplace Content {#updating}
+
+After you publish a component in the Mendix Marketplace, it is your responsibility to make sure that the component is updated on a regular cadence. This is important to ensure compatibility with the latest versions of dependencies, especially Mendix Studio Pro. It is also required so Mendix can ensure the quality of components in the Marketplace.   
+
+This means you need to monitor, maintain, and evolve the component, thus making sure that the Marketplace listing is more noticeable, that you can build user loyalty, and that you can maintain the good reputation of your company. 
+
+If the component is not updated regularly, the Marketplace listing will be analyzed for removal from public visibility.
+
+Mendix expects the following updates for components in the Platform, Community, and Premium [support categories](/appstore/marketplace-content-support/#category):
+
+* Bug fixes
+* New features
+* Feature removal
+* Compatibility updates with the latest Studio Pro version and other dependencies
+
+To update content that has already been published, follow these steps:
+
+1. Find the component in one of the following sections:
+
+    * **My Content**
+    * **Company Content**
+    * **Content Group**
+    {{% alert color="info" %}}If an existing Marketplace component is assigned to a [content group](/appstore/home-page/#content-groups) as specific content group [content](/appstore/home-page/#group-content), you can only update the component if you are a member of that group.{{% /alert %}}
+
+2. Click the menu item next to the component you want to update and select **Manage Draft**.
+
+    {{% alert color="info" %}}Only one draft version of a component can exist at a time, so when one draft version is in progress, another draft cannot be started. If there is a draft version in progress, click **Edit Draft** on the page where you manage the component in order to see the draft.{{% /alert %}}
+
+3. You can edit all component details, as described in the [Adding New Marketplace Content](#adding) section above.
+4. In the **Version** section of the **Package** page, update the **Major**, **Minor**, and **Patch** numbers so that the component is saved as a new version:
+
+    * **Major update** – changes that break compatibility with earlier versions.
+    * **Minor update** – new features that do not break existing usage.
+    * **Patch** – a small change that fixes bugs or security issues.
+
+5. On the **Publish** page, you can review all the details of your component entered so far and edit as necessary using the **Edit** button in each section before clicking **Publish Content**.
