Can you force the creation of a new app version before continuing to edit it?

Yes. In Jestor, you can force a new app version to be generated by clicking the build button or refreshing the page (F5), making sure your changes are saved into a specific version before you keep editing.

How versioning works

By default, Jestor automatically saves app versions as changes are made, without impacting anyone already using the published version. For anyone who wants to make sure a specific change was saved as a new version, just use the build button or refresh the page — that generates a new version immediately, instead of waiting for automatic saving to run its own course.

Action	Result
Edit and wait	Version saved automatically by the system
Click build or press F5	Forces the immediate creation of a new version

How to manage the app's versions

Make the desired changes to the app.
Click the build button or press F5 to force saving into a new version.
Go to "manage versions" to browse earlier versions.
Choose which version should stay published for other users, regardless of the version you're editing.

Why choose Jestor

Edit without immediate impact: you can test changes without affecting people already using the app day to day.
Stable version control: you can keep one version fixed as published while testing others.
Simple rollback: going back to an earlier version is just a matter of restoring that point in time.

Are versions created automatically even without forcing a save?

Yes, Jestor generates versions as changes are made; forcing a save just guarantees that specific point gets recorded immediately.

Can you lock the app to a specific version for users?

Yes, you can choose a stable version to stay published, even while the builder keeps working on more recent versions.

Does reverting to an earlier version affect people already using the app?

Not necessarily. You can restore an earlier version for editing without changing the published version other users see, until that new version is published.

Why does a removed user show as inactive instead of being deleted, and what does that preserve in the history?
