Edit and create files and folders in the app editor tab, which is created on the QRadar®
Console.
About this task
When you install a new app, the Hello World development tab that includes
the editor is added to the Console, and a second tab shows the Hello World
app in normal installed mode without the editor.
The following diagram shows the first Hello World app tab without the
editor, and the Hello World - Custom Tab Development tab that includes the
editor on QRadar.

Procedure
To edit files in the app folder,
double-click a file, or right-click to view the File Edit menu.
To create files and folders, save files, and close files, click File,
and then select an option from the menu.
To search for files in the app folder navigation, type the file name in the search box, and
then click the search icon to search for your file.
Copy or move files from one folder to folder in the app folder navigation.
To copy a file from one folder to another folder, select the file and press the CTRL key, and
then use your mouse to drag the file to the destination folder.
To move a file from one folder to another folder, select the file by using your mouse, and
drag the file to the destination folder.
To upload files to the app folder, use any of the following three ways to open the
Upload File screen:
Click > File > Upload, and then drag a file in the box, or browse to a file.
In the app folder navigation, select a folder, and then right-click to open the
Upload File screen.
In the app folder navigation, select a folder, and then drag a file over the folder to open
the Upload File screen.
To deploy an app or export an app, click the Actions menu and choose one
of the following options:
Click Actions > Deploy App > in Development Mode to deploy and upgrade the current app in development mode.
When you make changes,
such as editing the manifest or other files, you deploy and upgrade the app in development mode to
apply your changes. The app version in the manifest file increments when you deploy an
app.
When you deploy your app in development mode, you have the option to save a copy of the
current app in .zip format.
Click Actions > Deploy App > in Live Mode to view the app in QRadar.
Before, you deploy the
app in Live Mode, it's good practice to save your app locally, otherwise you
can't access your changes after the app is deployed because the editor tab is removed.
The
development mode tab that includes the App Editor is removed from the Console when you deploy the
app in Live Mode. If you want to edit the app again, you must export it as a
.zip file so that you can import it to QRadar and edit it at a later
time.
Click Actions > Export App > as Zip to save your app in a local folder.
The app is saved as an archive
(.zip) file, which you can import as an existing app later. The
.zip file that you export is not an app extension that can be installed by
using the Extensions Management tool on the Admin tab.
When you export the app, the app version in the manifest displays in the export dialog box.
When you change the version that appears in the export dialog box, the app version in the manifest
file version is changed to the same version.
Click Actions > Delete App to delete the app that you're editing. The app is removed from the QRadar
Console.
Note: If you make changes to the app, ensure that you export the app so that your changes are saved
in the exported zip file and you can install the app again later. The File > Save function saves the session only in QRadar, and does not write to the compressed file,
so these changes are lost because the app files are removed when you delete the app.
