Publish for Testing within the App Builder

Avatar
Albert Kim

Need a button within the App Builder that performs the Publish for Testing action.

Currently, the only options are Save, Publish, and Close. Whenever I'm testing changes, I have to Close, Save, find the App, click on it, scroll down, click on Publish for Testing. This can happen many times during the testing of an App.

A publish for testing next to the other options would be great and save a lot of time.

    So completely agree. I don't have to do it often, so I always forget how to do this.

    Wow, this is ridiculous. This is such a simple change/enhancement and it hasn't happened for three years! What good does this community do? 

    I think the development team owes it's customers some timelines, etc. Give us a report on the enhancement requests status.

    Hey Bret,

    Requests made to the community are deeply appreciated by the development team because it gives us direct insights into what are clients would like to see in the platform. These requests inform our roadmap but are not guaranteed to be on the roadmap by any given point in time. 

    Our Builder BETA, releasing to a wider audience this fall, includes an in-browser testing feature. Please visit this Help Center Article to learn more about this project. This has been in development for several years and we are very excited about this new and intuitive form building experience!
