Upgrading an App

Note: Before you can upgrade your app, the released version of the app of the same release your modified version is based on and the newly released version of the app must be uploaded to the Releases tab.

Follow these steps to upgrade an app to a newer version.

Step	Action
1	Go to the Workspaces tab and select the workspace that contains the .mvp file of your app.
2	If your workspace contains any local modifications, click on the Workspace menu and select Commit....
3	Click on the Workspace menu and select Upgrade....
4	If you have selected a Base app when you created the app, or when you have upgraded the app before, the Base app is automatically selected. If not, then select the released version on which your modified version is based from the Base app drop-down list in the Upgrade App dialog. Note: Make sure that you select the correct Base app for the upgrade to prevent merge problems.
5	Select the released version to which you want to upgrade from the New app drop-down list.
6	Click on UPGRADE. See illustration below.

Fork an App

It is possible to fork a app in case you want to duplicate an app. For example, to start a new app by using an already existing app as the basis. Forking an app creates a new branch. This branch contains the history of revisions up until the one your app was based on.

2	Click on the Workspace menu icon and select Fork app....
