Review, edit and approve generated metadata
Compare generated metadata with your store listing, check scores, edit fields, give feedback and approve the version you want to publish.
Updated September 30, 2026
Once a generation finishes, open it from the language's ASO History to review the result. You can compare it with your current store listing, edit it, and approve it for publishing.
Read the results
The top of the page shows Generated ASO, the language and the generation date, plus a status: whether the changes are published, not yet published, or whether you need to connect your app first.
The page has up to three sections:
- Metadata – Title, Subtitle (called Short description on Google Play) and, on the App Store, Hidden keywords.
- Description – if you generated a long description.
- Patch notes – if you generated What's new text.
For each field, switch between Store (your current listing) and Generated. Changes from the store listing are highlighted as removed and added. Each field shows a character counter and a copy button. Hover a keyword to see its rank and metrics.
If a generation has several versions, switch between them with the Version tabs.
Score cards
Each field has four scores. When your current listing is available, you see the change from store to generated.
| Score | How to read it |
|---|---|
| Score | Overall optimization of the field. Higher is better. |
| Volume | Search volume of the keywords the field targets. |
| Difficulty | How hard those keywords are to rank for. Lower is better. |
| Relevance | How relevant those keywords are to your app. |
Targeted list
The Targeted list shows the keyword combinations built from the words in this ASO, with Keywords, Combinations, Total volume and Avg. difficulty. Compare Generated with Store snapshot. Select keywords and use Send to app keywords to track them in Keyword Research, or export them to CSV or XLSX.
Edit the metadata
- Click the pencil (Edit metadata) on a section. An Editing chip appears.
- Change the text. The score is recalculated as you type, and you'll see whether it improved, dropped or stayed about the same.
- Optionally click Add relevant keywords to track relevant keywords from your edit.
- Click Save, or Cancel to discard.
Keep an eye on the character counter. The limits are 30 characters for the title, 30 for the App Store subtitle (80 for the Google Play short description) and 100 for hidden keywords.
Use the sidebar
The sidebar on the right has four tabs:
- Feedback – rate the result with a thumbs up or down and describe what should change. This helps improve future generations.
- Keywords – Core Keywords for the metadata and the Keyword Pool used to generate it.
- Density – how often each keyword appears in the long description.
- Screen View – a preview of how your listing will look in the store.
Train the algorithm
To steer future generations, add guidance – preferences, terminology, tone or things to avoid:
- Per language: in the sidebar of a language's ASO History, use Train your algorithm.
- For the whole app: use App settings.
Each time you save, a new guidance version is created and activated. You can restore a previous version or disable guidance from Guidance version history.
Approve
When you're happy with the result, click Approve ASO at the bottom of the page. You can also click Export as XLSX to share it first. Once approved, click Publish ASO to open the Publisher.
Want a different result? Run Generate ASO again – each run adds a new generation to the language's history.
