Version merging

Using versions for the first time …

It seems a bit flaky ?

Did a merge last night and one of our pages (that was not in the branch but was in dev) has disappeared from the list of pages. But it is still there if you go to live, view the page, and then back to dev.

If you type the page name in the URL then it just hangs loading the page.

Anyone else a bit scared to use this ? Or am I missing something here ?

Hey @NigelG!

Our team is actually currently in the process of making improvements to the multiversion system due to these exact concerns. If you’re noticing something finicky with multiversion, please do send us an email at support@bubble.io so that we can log the behavior and improve!

Thanks @eve :slight_smile:

It is always tricky to know if you are going mad or if something really has moved :slight_smile:

Raised a bug earlier. Will send an email with the further “finicky” stuff.

I also have been feeling like something strange is going on with merge. I’m frequently asked if to take actions on elements with unique ID looking values elem 123l4 i’ll document next time. And sometimes pages that are unrelated simple break with things such as [missing element] and I have to go back through and tell it the same element that it was set to before. And the worst part is when I click yours or branch name and it will freeze / quit letting me switch between the two to compare, thus I have to simple confirm and hope for the best. Are there any best practices when merging and working with multiple people…? I could be doing something wrong.
