Remixing allows you to create a personal copy of an existing Playlab app. This remixed app can then be modified for your context. This guide will walk you through the process of remixing a Playlab app to customize it for your needs.
Account Required
To remix a Playlab app, you must have an active Playlab account, be logged into Playlab, and have permission to create new apps in Playlab.
When you remix an app, you start with a complete working template that you can customize. This saves time compared to creating a new app from scratch. Remixing copies all prompts, UI elements, and references, giving you a head start.
Creating a new app starts with an empty canvas that you build from the ground up. Choose remix when you want to build upon someone else’s work, and create a new app when you want to start from scratch.
No, remixing an app creates a completely separate copy that is independent from the original. Any changes you make to your remixed version will not affect the original app in any way.
The original creator’s app remains exactly as they designed it, while you have full freedom to modify your remix without worrying about impacting the source app. This independence allows both versions to coexist and evolve separately.
No, the original creator will not know. They have chosen to share their original app publicly, and know that their apps can be remixed and have granted permission to do so.
Absolutely! You can remix any app that you have access to, including apps that are themselves remixes of other apps.
No, you don’t need explicit permission to remix any app that has been made public in the Playlab Gallery. Making an app public implies consent for others to remix it.
However, for private apps, you need to be explicitly granted access to the app before you can remix it.
Yes, when you create a remix, you can choose to make it private to just your workspace, depending on the publishing permissions you provide.
If you make significant improvements to a remixed app, we encourage you to share it with the community, but the choice is entirely yours.
No, once you’ve remixed an app, your version becomes completely independent from the original. Updates to the original app won’t automatically appear in your remix.
If you want to incorporate updates from the original app, you would need to manually implement those changes or create a new remix of the updated original.
No, you cannot download or view the original references from a remixed app. This limitation is in place to respect the privacy and intellectual property of the original creator.
When you remix an app, you’ll be able to see the names of any references that were used in the original app, but you won’t have access to download or view the actual content of these references. This ensures that private or proprietary materials remain protected.
If you need specific references for your remixed app, you’ll need to upload your own resources or reach out to the original creator directly to request permission to use their materials.
