Update without resetting the whole app?

Questions
1

Dear Bubble team,

Is there any future where we might be able to send a small update without resetting the entire app?

As time goes by the app gets bigger and bigger and finding the right time to send an update to impact the least amount of people gets harder and harder. Sometimes we just have small tweaks to a backend process, or a change to just one page, but then we have to make every active user refresh every possible page. they are on.

Seems unnecessary. Is this really the only way? Is it on the roadmap?

Thanks

This was discussed during Bubblecon.

Tl;dr: the native mobile editor will include some of this functionality, and it “might” be ported over to the web editor eventually.

There was some discussion around this during BubbleCon and the team seems to be working on deploying this soon :eyes:

The way it works in mobile native is that if you push an update that requires an app update:

  • Users using the old version of the app will use the entire old version.
  • For example, if in V1 my backend workflow does X and in V2 the backend workflow does Y, users on V1 will use X and users on V2 will use Y. Essentially, they retain a snapshot in time of your Bubble app.
