How to change the app description?

I uploaded an app as well as many versions of this app, but I cannot find a way to update the description. How do you do it?

Look for the tiny "edit" link on the lower right of the page on Splunk-Base. Click it and you'll see the description under the "Short Description" section. The long description is on the same page; click the "edit" link under the long description section. The long description is posted under the short description on the app page.

I meant how to update the app description in the Splunk-base. I don't have a new version to upload and I want to change the description.

Go to etc/apps/YOUR_APP_NAME/local and edit the description field in app.conf
