My Marketplace
1 Introduction
At the top of your Marketplace page, you can choose a category to share new Marketplace content, such as Widgets or Solutions.
The pages for the sidebar menu items are described below.
2 My Drafts
On this page, you can see and manage the drafts for all the Marketplace content you have started.
This page presents details on how many total drafts you have, which drafts are ready to publish or are awaiting approval, and which drafts have been declined.
These are the possible Status entries for each item:
- Incomplete draft – the draft is incomplete and requires additional information before you can submit it
- Ready to publish – the draft of the new version of the component is ready to be published to the Mendix Marketplace
- Waiting for approval – the component is being reviewed by Mendix
- Declined – the draft was declined after review by Mendix; you can find specific feedback in the email notification and on the draft edit page
On this page, click More Options () on a component to access the following options:
- Edit Draft – click this to go to the component’s draft page, where you can continue editing the component details
- Submit Draft – if your component is ready to be submitted and has no errors, you can proceed with the submission for review
- Withdraw Draft – click this to withdraw content from the review process after you have submitted it for approval, which will return the content to the draft state
- Delete – click this to delete the draft

Click the name of the component to go its component details page.
Click the context menu to access various options for managing your content:
- Manage Drafts – click this to manage the drafts of the component
- Only one draft version of a component can exist at a time, so when one draft version is in progress, another draft cannot be initiated
- If there is a draft version in progress, you will see options to Edit Draft or Delete Draft

- For more information on creating a draft version, see the Updating Existing Marketplace Content section of How to Share Marketplace Content

- If the component is not the protected content of a content group, you can only unpublish a version that you have published yourself
- Select Unpublish All My Versions to remove all your versions of the component
You may see the Private label on a component, which means it is your company’s private Marketplace content (for details on how this is configured, see the Adding New Marketplace Content section of How to Share Marketplace Content). This content can be shared with guests.
In addition, you may see a label on a component name for the content group to which the component is assigned as group group content.

9.1 Service Management Dashboard
This dashboard presents an overview of your service instances and binding keys. A service instance is what Mendix creates when you subscribe to an app service. After the service instance has been created, you need binding keys to use the app service in your app.
This page presents the Binding Key Names that have been created as well as details on the user who created the binding keys (Created By) and when the binding keys were created (Created At). Click Delete to delete that group of binding keys.
You can also select a group of binding keys and click Manage Instance to go to the component provider’s configuration page, where you can do further configuration.
9.1.1 Creating Binding Keys
To create binding keys for a specific subscription, click Create Binding Keys. In the dialog box, enter a name for the keys that includes the name of the app where you intend to use the component you have subscribed to (so that it is clear to other users where the keys are used).
After you click Create Keys, a page appears with your binding keys. Click Copy for each key and manually save the keys somewhere safe.
For more information, see the Using the Binding Keys section below.
Click Return to the overview to go to the main page of the dashboard.
9.1.2 Using the Binding Keys
When you are developing your app, set the app service’s binding keys as constants in the App Settings.
Refer to the documentation on specific app services for how to use the binding keys (for example, see the Authenticating Insights Hub REST Calls section of Insights Hub IIoT for Makers).
