# Publishing Overview

> A high-level map of the four stages you'll complete to get your Extensy-generated extension live on the Chrome Web Store.

Publishing your extension involves four sequential stages — from setting up your developer account to managing the listing after it goes live. Extensy generates CWS-ready code for you; your job is to supply the promotional assets and work through the store's submission process.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Extensy produces a store-ready ZIP. You are responsible for the promotional assets — icons, screenshots, and descriptions — that make your listing stand out.

## The publishing journey

**1. Set up a developer account**

Register with Google to become a verified Chrome extension publisher. There is a one-time **\$5 USD** fee.

**2. Prepare your assets**

Gather your extension ZIP, a 128×128 px icon, at least one screenshot, short and detailed descriptions, and a privacy policy if your extension collects user data.

**3. Submit for review**

Upload your ZIP and assets to the Chrome Web Store Developer Console, declare your permissions, configure visibility, and submit.

**4. Manage after launch**

Monitor install counts and active users, respond to reviews, and push updates whenever your extension changes.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Most reviews complete in **1–3 business days**. Extensions that request broad permissions (such as `<all_urls>`) may take up to a week.
