Test channel configuration
You can test your configuration before enabling it for the end users. It helps you detect and resolve any issues that might arise post deployment. The testing capability significantly reduces the likelihood of disruptions or errors during the deployment process and increases overall user satisfaction.
To test your configuration:
-
Go to the cloud portal and sign in with your Citrix Cloud credentials.
-
Navigate to Client app management > Stores.
-
From the list of configured store URLs, select the store for which you want to map settings and then click Configure.
-
Click the drop-down list option and select Test Channel. It is set to Production by default.
-
Modify the settings for your preferred platforms as per your requirement.
-
You can then click Publish Drafts to publish your settings in the test channel.
Note:
Client app management supports only two channels per store, one production (default) and one test channel.
