Is it possible to force the creation of a new app version before continuing to edit it?

Yes. In Jestor's app versioning, clicking the build button or simply refreshing the page (F5) forces the creation of a new app version, even if you don't want to wait for autosave to happen on its own.

Why would forcing a new version manually be useful?

Jestor already saves versions automatically as you edit an app, with no action needed on your part. But for anyone who wants absolute certainty that a specific change was marked as its own version — before moving on to test another change — manually forcing the version gives that guarantee.

How to force a new version in Jestor?

Open the app in edit mode (builder mode).
Make the desired change to the app.
Click the build button or refresh the page (F5).
Jestor generates a new numbered version from that point, keeping previous versions accessible in the history.
