Then switch to the PLATFORMS tab to quickly see each of your Channels and where they are published to. You can easily distinguish if a Channel is published or not published by the color of the platform icon. Grey means it is not published yet. If the platform icon is in color, the Channel is published on this platform. By mousing over a platform icon it will display the information if it is published or not published on the platform.  ![](https://help.dev.lightcast.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/45d16832-86c1-4968-a0b1-d42b321aef64-Apr-22-2023-03-51-05-7683-PM.png?width=15&height=15&name=45d16832-86c1-4968-a0b1-d42b321aef64-Apr-22-2023-03-51-05-7683-PM.png)  **The Channel Manager's Overview Tab** Navigate to the left-hand menu CHANNELS and click on "Video on Demand", or on any of the other Channel types. Selecting a Channel will open the Overview page of the Channel Manager which provides general information as well as to which platform this Channel is published and not published to. Similar to the PLATFORMS tab, you can easily distinguish if a Channel is published or not published by the color of the platform icon or by mousing over the platform icon. ![](https://help.dev.lightcast.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/45d16832-86c1-4968-a0b1-d42b321aef64-Apr-22-2023-03-51-05-7683-PM.png?width=15&height=15&name=45d16832-86c1-4968-a0b1-d42b321aef64-Apr-22-2023-03-51-05-7683-PM.png)  **The Channel Manager's Apps Tab** When you are inside a Channel Manager, navigate to the APPS tab. The APPS tab provides another helpful overview to instantly see which App Platforms you have your Channels assigned to and the App Platforms you do not have your Channel assigned to yet. The Apps Tab also provides you with convenient links to the App Builder which allows you to add or remove Channels to/from your Apps. ![](https://help.dev.lightcast.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/45d16832-86c1-4968-a0b1-d42b321aef64-Apr-22-2023-03-51-05-7683-PM.png?width=15&height=15&name=45d16832-86c1-4968-a0b1-d42b321aef64-Apr-22-2023-03-51-05-7683-PM.png)  **The App Builder's Navigation Tab** Navigate to the left-hand menu APP BUILDER, select an App and switch to the NAVIGATION tab. Here you can easily see the Channels assigned to your App.   **How to Know whether or not a Channel is Published in an App**   [![company logo](https://help.dev.lightcast.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Untitled-2.png?height=120&name=Untitled-2.png)](https://mediacloud.lightcast.com) - [![facebook_social_link_icon_alt_text](https://static.hsstatic.net/TemplateAssets/static-1.329/img/hs_default_template_images/modules/Follow+Me+-+Email/facebook_circle_color.png)](https://www.facebook.com/lightcastinc) - [![twitter_social_link_icon_alt_text](https://static.hsstatic.net/TemplateAssets/static-1.329/img/hs_default_template_images/modules/Follow+Me+-+Email/twitter_circle_color.png)](https://twitter.com/lightcast_inc) - [![linkedin_social_link_icon_alt_text](https://static.hsstatic.net/TemplateAssets/static-1.329/img/hs_default_template_images/modules/Follow+Me+-+Email/linkedin_circle_color.png)](https://www.linkedin.com/company/lightcast/) - [Open a Support Ticket](https://mediacloud.dev.lightcast.com/support-center/open-ticket) - - [Go to Customer Portal](https://help.dev.lightcast.com/tickets)
