Can't publish my custom feature

I just realised my frame trim/extend featurescipt isn't publicly discoverable (sorry, kind of new to OnShape). I've met all the requirements, but for some reason it's not detecting that I've used the feature in my example:

    The features used are still liked to a version in this screenshot as indicated by the icon to the right of them. I just did a test, and that does seem to prevent it from working. If I add one from the workspace it works.

    Possibly this is because the uses of the feature in your example are linked to a version, and not from the active workspace. Try adding an example use of the feature from the toolbar area called "Custom features in this workspace"

    Nope, still doesn't work even if I'm on "Main". Added the custom feature as you suggested.

    Thanks, that seems to have done the trick! The problem was I was using the shortcut the second time.
