Settings > Service Provider Settings > Manage Catalog
Note: To view the catalog option when creating a new application, Marketplace Service Domain field should be blank under Community Site Configuration section of the Configure Service Settings page.

- Catalog

- Approve Packages
- Review Packages pending approval
- User can either:
- [Approve] package for publication to the catalog
- [Reject] package, and deny publication to the catalog
- In either case, an email is sent to the submitter, to tell them the outcome.
- Learn more: Package Approval or Rejection
