application versions
in this video we will look at how to
manage versions of a given application
when you create a new application it
always starts with a version 1.0
as you go and make further changes to
your application
the minor version will keep on
incrementing but the major version will
stay the same
although the minor version version
changes but those minor versions are not
check pointed or you cannot roll back to
them if you need to
in order to create a major version you
need to click on versions
and then you will be presented with
display which is basically responsible
for all the version management
over here you can create a major version
which allows you to create a checkpoint
where you can roll back to
if needed it also allows you
to keep on modifying or eye trading over
your app
while it is also published and your
users are using it
and once you're ready with your new
version you can seamlessly switch over
to it and all your users will start to
use
the new version in order to create a new
version
you have to select the base version that
you want
to use and you can click copy that will
create a new later version
based on that as you can see we are now
creating a version 3.
similarly you can click on the delete
button if you require
to remove the version this list also
shows you which version
is published at any given time
one thing to note is that if you are on
this
dashboard or tile view and your app is
published
you will notice that it will display the
version which is published and clicking
on it will always take you
to the published version regardless if
it is the latest one or not
however if you have design time access
for the same app
and you click on the bit button that
will always take you to the latest
version
which might be the one you're working on
you would note that if you're on a
version which is not the published one
you get both buttons published and
unpublished
clicking on unpublished will unpublish
the version which is currently published
however clicking publish but not only
i'll
unpublish that version but also publish
this one instead
if you would like to navigate to a
different version
you can go to the version manager select
the version you would like to navigate
or work with
and click on the view button that will
take you to the version
you selected
this is how your version control your
applications
