App Builder applications: Projects built using the App Builder template are built by an organization for use within that organization. Therefore, App Builder applications require approvals by the enterprise organization administrator only.
App Builder applications approval process
Once you have completed development on an App Builder application, it is time to submit the application to your administrators for review and approval.
The final app is based on the Production workspace, therefore it is important to ensure that the production workspace contains all of the necessary APIs, Events, and Runtime code that it needs before submitting for approval.
To begin the approval process, navigate to the Production workspace and select Submit for approval in the top-right corner of the screen or select Approval in the left navigation.
On the Approval screen you will be presented with the App Submission Details form. These details will be visible to people using your app and administrators reviewing your application.
Once the submission details have been completed, select Submit to begin the approval process.
You will be returned to the Approval screen, where the Status of your application should now be "In Review".

After your application has been submitted for approval, the admin could see your app pending for review in Adobe Exchange. The next section will describe admin approval flow from My exchange. From console side, once an application has been approved, either by internal reviewers, its Status will be updated to "Published" and the application will be available for use by employees within your enterprise organization.
