Release management

UI Bakery deployment process is pretty straightforward - you just need to click the Release button, specify the settings and deploy the app. Here, we'll explore how you can manage your app releases, namely creating draft releases and restoring a specific release version, if needed.

Creating a draft release

While building your app, you can create draft releases. Draft releases allow you to create versions on the Dev environment before introducing some major changes to your application, such as switching data sources or introducing new UI.

The draft release flow is just like the regular deployment flow - simply clear both the Staging and Prod checkboxes. You will notice the Publish release button changing to Draft release.

Draft releases are also available in the Release history and can be restored as well.

Restoring a release version

You can access the Release history to view the history of all your app releases. It includes both Stage and Prod releases, as well as Draft releases. From there, you can restore any release if you need to revert back to the previous production version.

To restore a release version:

1. Click on the Dashboard icon in the upper left corner and select Release history.

2. In the window that opens, click Restore next to the version you want to roll back to.

3. Next, confirm your changes.

That's it! The Restore operation will be also added to the Release history.
