description: See a snapshot of your app's current live store listing, per store and locale.

The **Live Listing** viewer shows what's actually published on the store right now — the title, description, screenshots, icon, and the rest of your metadata as your users see it. It's a read-only snapshot, scoped to the storefront and locale selected in the top bar.

## Before you start

- Open a project and choose the **Storefront** (App Store or Google Play) and **Language / Region** you want to inspect in the top bar. The viewer reflects those selections.
- The app must be **published** on the selected store for content to appear. For some fields — the App Store **Keywords** field in particular — you also need connected store credentials.

## What you see

Open **Live Listing** from the sidebar. The page header carries a **View live listing** link that opens the app's page on the store in a new tab.

Below the header, the **Live** tab lists every content section for the selected store, with the last-synced date at the top:

- **Title**
- **Subtitle** (App Store) or **Short Description** (Google Play)
- **Description**
- **Keywords Field** — App Store only. Requires an App Store Connect connection; if it isn't linked, the section prompts you to **Connect App Store**.
- **Icon**
- **Screenshots** — grouped by device size, with a count. Click any screenshot to view it full size.
- **Promo Text** — App Store only.
- **What's New** — App Store only, with the current version.

Text fields show a character-usage bar against the store's limit for that field, so you can see how much of the available space the listing uses. Google Play listings omit the App Store-only sections (Keywords, Promo Text, What's New).

## How to read it

Use the Live Listing as your ground truth. When an audit or the Asset Editor recommends a change, compare it against what's live here to see the gap. The character-usage bars show where you're leaving space unused — an App Store title using 12 of 30 characters is leaving keyword room on the table. Switch **Language / Region** in the top bar to check each locale's live text separately.

If a section reads "No live listing data available," the app either isn't published on that store yet or the listing hasn't synced. The **Last synced** timestamp tells you how current the snapshot is.

The Live Listing page also has a **Change History** tab. It's a placeholder today — the full history of listing changes over time ships in a later release.

## How it connects to what you do

- Compare the live listing against your audit scores on the [Watchtower](/docs/projects/watchtower).
- Connect store credentials to unlock the App Store Keywords field and publishing — see [App Store linking](/docs/store-setup/appstore-credential).
