Zavon

Marketplace

Overview

The marketplace offers components and design systems that other organisations share. Zavon reviews each one before it is on offer.

Installing one adds a copy to your own library. Nothing on your site changes until you place the component or choose the design system.

Before you start

To install a component, your role needs Edit on the Pages area. To install a design system, it needs Edit on the Theme area. See Roles and access.

To offer a component or a design system of your own, your role needs Approve components and design systems. You can offer only a component that is approved.

Update a copy

When the author offers a newer version and Zavon approves it, your copy says so. Your copy never changes by itself.

  1. Open the copies

    On the marketplace, select the Installed tab. The tab shows how many copies have a newer version.

  2. Read the notice

    Read A newer version is available under a copy. It names the newer version.

  3. Update it

    Select Update. The newer version is added to your copy as a new version.

  4. Or update from the builder

    Open the component on Theme › Components. Select Update on its card or in the builder.

Offer a component or design system

  1. Open the dialog

    On the marketplace, select Offer a component or design system. The Offer on the marketplace dialog opens.

  2. Pick the item

    Select Component or Design system. Then set the one to offer.

  3. Describe it

    Type a Listing name and a Summary. Leave Listing name empty to keep its own name.

  4. Add pictures

    Under Preview pictures, set a picture for Desktop, Tablet or Phone from your library. Without one, the listing draws it live at that width.

  5. Send it

    Select Send for review. The Your listings tab shows it as Waiting for review.

Look after your listings

  1. Read the status

    Select the Your listings tab. Each listing shows Waiting for review, On offer, Rejected, Withdrawn or Delisted.

  2. Offer a new version

    After you approve a new version of the item, select the button beside its listing, such as Offer version 2.

  3. Stop offering it

    Select Withdraw. Organisations that installed it keep their copies.

Troubleshooting

If Install is grey, hold the pointer on it. It gives the reason, such as a listing of your own or a copy you already have.

If Offer a component or design system is grey, your role cannot approve components and design systems.

If Send for review is grey, the component is not approved yet, or it is deprecated.

If a listing shows Rejected or Delisted, read the reason from Zavon under it. Fix the item, then select Offer for review.

If Update is grey, your copy is at the newest version, or the listing is no longer on offer.

If Author’s picture is grey, the author offered no picture at that width.

Good to know

A copy is yours. Changes that the author makes later never reach your copy by themselves. You decide when to update.

Free. Every listing on the marketplace is free.

Zavon reviews every version. A listing and each new version wait for Zavon before other organisations see them. Zavon can also delist a listing, with a reason.

Approval. If your role cannot approve components and design systems, an installed copy and each update wait for approval. See Approve design changes.

Pictures. Installing copies the pictures of a component into your own storage. A picture that cannot be copied is left empty.

Your own listings. You cannot install a listing that your organisation offers. The original is already in your library.
