# Document your app

Once you've deployed your app to Health Universe, it's time to **Document** it. This step helps ensure your app is discoverable, well-understood, and appropriately used. 

Here's how to document your app effectively:

#### 1. **Go to Your App Page**

Navigate to your app’s page on [healthuniverse.com](https://healthuniverse.com/).

#### 2. **Enter Edit Mode**

Click **Edit** in the top-right corner of your app page to begin editing.

#### 3. **Update Core Information**

You can now modify:

* **App Name**
* **Description**
* **Research Area**

  <div align="left"><figure><img src="https://1951440936-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FS80fbh8wWG71Qtm77IKh%2Fuploads%2FB2cGKYqX8CS0mEhCNzDo%2FScreenshot%202025-05-28%20at%2010.49.07%E2%80%AFAM.png?alt=media&#x26;token=56d53789-2acf-47d0-a31d-053870db9423" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

Make sure these are clear, concise, and descriptive to help Navigator accurately surface your app in the right clinical or administrative contexts.

#### 4. **Add Documentation**

In addition to the basics, you’ll have the option to add detailed paragraphs for each of the following sections:

* 🩺 **Use Case**:&#x20;
  * Describe the specific clinical or administrative scenario your app supports. Be specific — this helps Navigator understand when to surface your app.
* 📚 **Evidence**:&#x20;
  * Add any relevant data, clinical studies, validation results, or references that support the app’s effectiveness or accuracy.
* ⚠️ **Limitations**:&#x20;
  * Be transparent about what the app **cannot** do or situations where caution should be used.
* 💡 **Owner’s Insigh**t:&#x20;

  * Share the developer’s or clinician’s unique perspective. Why did you build this app? How do you envision it being used? This adds credibility and context.

#### 5. Modify App Settings

* **Hide GitHub Repository**
  * Toggle **Yes/No** to choose whether to hide your GitHub repo from the app page.
* **Privacy Setting**
  * Set your app to **Private** (only you can access it) or **Public** (anyone with the link can use it).
* **Delete Metadata**
  * If needed, you can delete your app’s metadata from this section.

Documenting your app thoroughly not only helps others use it properly — it also improves its visibility and utility within the platform.
