Dev vs live database clarification

leo.saumure · 2025-03-01T01:39:05.042Z

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.

Can you provide a screenshot from the data types section?

The data tables have different views.

Here is the data type section:

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.
