How to use app versioning to test changes without affecting people already using it

Any change to an app in use — layout, automation, Kanban — can show up broken for whoever is working in it at that moment. In version 8.0, Jestor isolates the published version (production) from the version being edited (staging), with instant rollback if something goes wrong.

What is environment isolation, and why does it exist?

Environment isolation is the technical separation between what end users see (production) and what the builder is testing (staging) — the no-code platform equivalent of the staging vs. production environment concept from software development.

Environment	Who accesses it	Instability risk
Production (published)	All app users	Zero, locked version
Staging (being edited)	Only those in build mode	Isolated, no impact on production

How to use app versioning in Jestor

Automatic publishing by default: the app publishes the latest version, unless manually locked.
Locked version as stable: you pin a specific version as production while testing the next one.
New version on every change: each saved edit automatically generates a numbered version.
Instant rollback: restore any previous version with no downtime.

How to configure it in Jestor: in build mode, lock the current version as stable and keep editing — the changes stay isolated until you switch which version is published.

Why choose Jestor for this kind of control?

The key differentiator is one-click rollback combined with full isolation between staging and production — the end user never notices what's being tested. Built for anyone building critical operational processes, where instability has a real cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do end users see while a new version is being tested? Only the version locked as stable; staging versions are visible only to those in build mode.

Can two color conditionals be applied at the same time to a single indicator?

Yes. Jestor indicators accept two simultaneous color conditionals — one for the data and another for the background — letting you, for example, turn the number red when it's below a value and the background a different color when it's above another value, all on the same indicator.

How to make app icons in the side menu show up with no background color for a minimalist look?

In Jestor's side menu, you can turn off the colored background behind app icons, leaving only the icon visible — a more minimalist look for anyone who prefers a cleaner menu. Why does removing the icon background change the menu experience? By default, every app icon in the side

Can a blurred background be used in a form to keep a background image readable?

Yes. Among Jestor's form style options is a blur option for the background: when there's an image behind the form, the blur softens that image to improve the readability of the content, while keeping the image visible behind it. Why does a background image without blur

How to group apps by department inside a custom app navigation?

In Jestor's custom navigation tool, you can create sections — like finance, HR, or specific teams — and group the apps related to that department inside each one, building a kind of personalized home right inside the app itself. Why does grouping by department help larger teams find their way
