I have a question about the Dev vs Live mode. If I create various fields in the User database structure in Dev mode, should these database changes be reflected in the live mode when I deploy? To clarify, I’m not talking about the actual data in the database, but the structure of the database itself. Thanks! ---

Yes, everything will be deployed over (: ---

I don’t think it is working properly, unless I misunderstand the concepts. Below is a screenshot of the live version vs the dev version. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/8/0/8005a2e42b9c7cdf8a8331ee0f553fe581b43e91.png) ---

Can you provide a screenshot from the data types section? The data tables have different views. ---

Here is the data type section: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/1/5/15cb06b71cc0e442705fc2049c1614db7820be52.png) ---

Have you deployed it to live? ---

I added a field to a data type a couple of days ago and deployed the app. That field didn’t show up in the live version right away. It’s there now. I wonder if it takes up to 24 hours for live database structure changes to be made. ---

When you deploy, it should be updated right away. There’s no delay. Try to refresh your browser after you load live version to see. ---

Are you sure it’s deployed? This wouldn’t be possible if you actually deployed the changes from Main to Live. 100% if you make a change in Dev, a successful deployment to Live will show those changes (in elements, workflow, data structure, api calls etc) Might be helpful to send a loom video of you deploying the changes from Main to Live, then refreshing the editor when you’ve opened Live to see the updates on screen. ---

Thanks for that! I have not yet deployed the app. When I do so, I look forward to ensuring both databases are aligned.
