How to experiment with, test and deploy bubble features faster

Hey there :slight_smile:

We have dev team that builds back-end APIs, which are then connected up with bubble. To help us experiment with and test new features, we have a separate staging and production bubble app.

Unfortunately, because we can’t copy controls across bubble apps, we have to do everything in the bubble UI twice - once in staging and once in production. This can add up to a lot of time and work. For example, a “show this resource with 20 attributes” page, can add up to 40-80 manual operations in the staging app’s bubble UI, which we need to then duplicate in the production bubble UI.

Wondering if there’s a better way to do this?

Thanks for the help!

Hi @tam1 :wave:
I think you can delete “staging” version & recreate it every time when you make changes in development.
This will save your copy / paste works
also you can try syncing here

No idea if this will work because I’ve never actually tried to import an app… Have you looked into the export / import? If that will work it seems like a good option.

Agree with this! Seems like multiple development versions would help here. That’s how I work with projects that have a staging environment, but it requires a professional plan or higher Pricing | Bubble
