Versioning and Release

Versioning and Release lets you version control your apps and release app changes to the users.

Versioning​

Versioning is really useful if multiple developers are working on an app, it allows them to save their own version of the app. This also prevents developers from overwriting the other developer's work.

Creating a Version​

You can create new versions from App Version Manager on the top-right corner. It displays the version of the app that you're currently working and can be used to switch between the different version of the app. To create a new version:

  • Go to the App Version Manager from the toolbar and click on the dropdown. It will display all the versions of the app that have been created. The released version name will be in green color.

  • Click on Create new version button present at the bottom of the dropdown and a modal will pop-up. Enter a Version Name and click on Create version from dropdown that will include all the versions of the app, choose a version from the dropdown that you want to use for your new version or ToolJet will automatically select the last created version, and then click on Create new Version button to add a new version.

Renaming a Version​

If you want to change the name of an app version, navigate to the version manager and select the version you wish to rename. From there, you can click on the rename button located beside the version name. This will open a modal where you can modify the version name to your desired choice.

Making a release let's you publish the app and push the changes to production.

caution

  • When an app is made Public without being released, it functions similarly to previewing the application. This means that the version that is loaded when accessing the app through its Public app URL will be the same version of the app currently loaded in the app builder.

  • To prevent the unintended publishing of an unfinished app, ToolJet will prompt you to create a new version for making any edits to the Released version of an app. Editing of the Released version will be blocked until a new version is created.
