Create Studios and Index Stacks

Before you start​

A Studio has at least one Stack, and each Stack can have Templates and Plugins. To speed up the creation and publishing of your Studio, you should already have your Stack, Templates, Plugins, and filled out the information in the .yaml files. All the information will be displayed in the Studio Website when your Studio is published.

For more information on how to populate the .yaml files, see the pages:

There are two ways to access the Studios:

  1. Login via SSO. The user profile type and the Organization you are part of will be identified automatically;
  2. You can login with GitHub to access StackSpot.

Studios' Types​

When you create a studio, you can see these types below:

  • Draft Studios: They are only visible to the person who created them and to the person who manages an Organization. Every new Studio is created as a Draft.
  • Private Studios: They are only visible to people in your organization.
  • Published Studios: They are visible and can be used by everyone inside and outside an organization.
  • Verified Studios: The Organizations validate the Studio and the Stacks. It makes sure is safe and qualified to use.
