# Publishing a cloud app

Apps that are published to the cloud but cannot be installed via App Source install via a publish request. Modify the URL of your Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central environment and add the Publish URL [querystring](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Query_string). This query opens page [2503](/business-central/docs/bc-publishing-a-cloud-app#page-2503-extension-installation), which gives the option to publish the app defined by its ID in the URL.

### Prerequisites

The user publishing the apps must have **Install and Managing apps** permissions.

### Modifying the URL

Start from the URL you land on after logging in at [businesscentral.dynamics.com](https://businesscentral.dynamics.com/). This URL may look like one of the following:

- [https://businesscentral.dynamics.com/{AzureTenantID}/?company=CRONUS%20USA%2C%20Inc.&dc=0](https://businesscentral.dynamics.com/%7BAzureTenantID%7D/?company=CRONUS%20USA%2C%20Inc.&dc=0)
- [https://businesscentral.dynamics.com/{Environment}/?company=CRONUS%20USA%2C%20Inc.&dc=0](https://businesscentral.dynamics.com/%7BEnvironment%7D/?company=CRONUS%20USA%2C%20Inc.&dc=0)
- [https://businesscentral.dynamics.com/{AzureTenantID}/{Environment}/?company=CRONUS%20USA%2C%20Inc.&dc=0](https://businesscentral.dynamics.com/%7BAzureTenantID%7D/%7BEnvironment%7D/?company=CRONUS%20USA%2C%20Inc.&dc=0)

Strip everything after the question mark [?] and replace it with the publish URL.

As an **example** for [Connectivity Studio](/business-central/docs/sc_InitializeBISCloud.md), change:

[https://businesscentral.dynamics.com/{Environment}/?company=CRONUS%20USA%2C%20Inc.&dc=0](https://businesscentral.dynamics.com/%7BEnvironment%7D/?company=CRONUS%20USA%2C%20Inc.&dc=0)

to:

[https://businesscentral.dynamics.com//?aid= FIN&page=2503&filter=%27ID%27%20IS%20%27514632c7-4954-461d-bd92-6d2070429537%27&signInRedirected=1](https://businesscentral.dynamics.com/{Environment}/?aid=FIN&page=2503&filter=%27ID%27%20IS%20%27514632c7-4954-461d-bd92-6d2070429537%27&signInRedirected=1)

As an **example** for [Quality Management](/business-central/docs/sc_InitializeQMCloud.md), change:

[https://businesscentral.dynamics.com/{Environment}/?company=CRONUS%20USA%2C%20Inc.&dc=0](https://businesscentral.dynamics.com/%7BEnvironment%7D/?company=CRONUS%20USA%2C%20Inc.&dc=0)

to:

[https://businesscentral.dynamics.com//?aid= FIN&page=2503&filter=%27ID%27%20IS%20%f80d3b56-cbb2-438f-8f04-612f117dae77%27&signInRedirected=1](https://businesscentral.dynamics.com/{Environment}/?aid=FIN&page=2503&filter=%27ID%27%20IS%20%27f80d3b56-cbb2-438f-8f04-612f117dae77%27&signInRedirected=1)

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> These are examples. Per app, you may need to publish several packages. For the latest URLs, go to the respective Installation and Update pages.
> 
> Navigate to the new URL to start the installation.
