# Apps will be reviewed for necessary scopes

DateJanuary 24, 2025

FlagsNew

SurfacesApp store

Starting February 1, 2025, all apps submitted to the Shopify App Store will be checked for scopes that require Shopify permission for approved use cases.

Apps that have unnecessary scopes, or are using scopes for non-approved use cases will have these scopes removed.

To learn more about these scopes, please visit the `API access` page in your Partner Dashboard.
