Public demo app

Hi!

I noticed that some website could embedded demo/preview app with sample data in a way that very similar to what shared at AppSheet template page (App templates), by that unauthorized users could access and preview the app (without a real data change changes reflected, or at least app/data could be refreshed each time a user access that demo).

Could you kindly let me know how can I achieve the same thing? Is there any specific license required or just AppSheet Core is enough?

I’m also thinking about preparing an isolated environment (such as a separated Workspace account or a sandbox environment) so that that demo apps wouldn’t affect my productive ones or making any security concern, but I don’t know where to begin with, so it’s really appreciated if you could tell me how to start from scratch.

Thanks so much.

Hey,

Hope you’re keeping well.

You can set up a public demo in AppSheet by creating a separate app that uses a copy of your data source with only sample or sanitized data. In the app’s Security > Require Sign-In setting, disable sign‑in so anyone with the link can view it, and set the data source to be read‑only to prevent changes. To keep it isolated from production, use a different Google account or Workspace with its own AppSheet subscription, which can be a free Core license if you don’t need premium features. This way you can safely embed the demo in a website via the app’s public URL or an iframe without impacting your live environment. If you want complete separation, start by creating a new Workspace or personal Google account, set up AppSheet there, and import only non‑sensitive demo data.

Thanks and regards,
Taz
