I am working on edit existing widget available as git repo and trying to republish it to our application

For e.e.g rest based grid widget is downloaded and then customised it.

I did not find the steps to convert it back in to .zip file in order to deploy it on dashboard on application builder app

Hi Harshil,

Please find below steps to deploy the widget to the application.

1. Run npm run runtime to create .zip file. Zip file will be present under runtime/dist folder.

2. Login to the tenant. Navigate to Administration → All Applications → Search for the widget →
   If its present, open the widget → Upload a zip file.
   If its not present, Add application → Upload web application.

Kindly let me know in case of any issues.

Thanks & Regards,
