Update a Published Visual Application

If you want to make changes to a published app, you need to create a new version. This creates a development version of the app for you to work on while the published version stays live. Once you are ready to go live with your updates, you can re-stage and re-publish the new version.

Staging the new version will generate a new URL that you can use for testing the app. Publishing the new version will replace the published version of the live app on the existing URI. This way, your customers can access the updated app with the same URI they've been using all along.

To create a new version of a published application:

  1. On the Home page, locate the live version of the application you want to update, then click the Application Options menu:
  2. Select New Version.
  3. In the New Application Version dialog box, enter a new version and enter a description to help track your changes. You can number your versions according to your versioning scheme, but the version number must be unique.
  4. Click Create.
    A new Development version of your app is created on the Home page:

    Note:

    If you're unable to create a new version, it may be that your application has reached its total limit of 100 versions. Check the application's Versions column on the Home page, where you can see the number of versions next to the current version number, for example, 2.8.9 +100. If the number of versions is 100, you need to permanently delete some versions of your app, starting with the oldest obsolete version (see Delete a Visual Application). Once you've deleted enough versions to fall within the version limit, try creating a new version again.

After you've successfully created a new version, click the Development version and update it in the Page Designer as required. When you're done making updates, stage and publish the app again.
