Access to Unpublished Files in the CurseForge App

Hello,

I would like to suggest a feature that could significantly improve the workflow for mod and modpack creators.

When a user is logged into their CurseForge account in the official CurseForge app, unpublished versions of their own projects (mods or modpacks) should be visible and downloadable directly within the app.

This access would be restricted to:

  • The project owner

  • Authorized team members

Currently, unpublished files can only be accessed via the website. Allowing them to appear in the app (when logged in with proper permissions) would make testing updates, debugging, and development much faster and more convenient.

This would make the CurseForge app more creator-friendly and streamline the development process.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best regards,
Alban
