# Beta Test

<!-- WARNING: THIS FILE WAS AUTOGENERATED! DO NOT EDIT! -->

The Beta Test section of the build flow enables you to test the app in your own account, and make the request to share the app with external users. For more information, see [Sharing Private and Beta Apps](/docs/distribute/sharing-private-and-beta-apps/).

## Assign test user licenses

Test monetization plans by assigning up to 5 test user licenses to internal team members. [Learn more](/docs/distribute/monetization/provisioning-testing/)

## Add App

This section includes a button you can use to authorize the app in production for your own account. See our full guide on [OAuth 2.0](/docs/integrations/oauth/) for more information

## Share App

Under the **Share App** section, if you've completed all the requirements, the build flow automatically generates an authorization URL.

This section includes the link you can use to share to accounts outside yours. Ensure you meet [Approval Conditions](/docs/distribute/sharing-private-and-beta-apps/#approval-conditions) before requesting to share.

You can also see the current beta status of your application for both users in your account and external users.

## Request Extension

We issue authorization URLs for a period of 4 weeks after which you can request two additional 4-week extensions.
To request extensions for expired authorization URLs: in the **Share App** section, select **Request Extension**.

For more information see [Authorization URL Expiry](/docs/distribute/sharing-private-and-beta-apps/#authorization-url-expiry).
