# Built for Shopify Technical criteria checklist has been updated

The following changes have been made:

* Technical criteria checklist has been renamed to `Technical criteria`

* App distribution page layout has been updated, and the content for some standards have been re-worded for clarity.

  * Added: A new section `Category-specific criteria` to outline criteria for specific app features.
  * Renamed: `Build for performance` is now `Performance`.
  * Renamed: `Usefulness criteria` is now `Merchant utility`
  * Combined: `Protect app safety, security, and reliability` and `Design for ease of use` are now `Design and functionality`
  * Removed: `Share app info and benefits` along with the standard `Make sure your app listing content is up-to-date`. This standard was intended to encourage completion of new app listing form fields introduced in the past, which all partners now have completed.
