Use the undo or redo buttons from the toolbar to undo or redo any change on the canvas.
You can also Keyboard Shortcuts to perform such actions.
Version Manager
Create or Remove Versions of the applications from the Version Manager. You can also edit the version name from the edit button.
When many developers are working on an app, Versioning allows them to save their own version of the app. This also prevents developers from overwriting the other developer's work.
Comments
Comment anywhere on the canvas and collaborate with other users in the workspace. Click on the comments button to enable it and then drop comment anywhere on the canvas.
Share
Share your applications with a unique URL generated automatically or edit the URL slug to personalize it.
- When Make the application public is off and URL is shared then the users will have to login to ToolJet to use the application. Toggle on the option then anyone on the internet will be able to access the application without logging in to ToolJet.
- ToolJet generates the Embedded link which can be used to embed application on the webpages.
Preview
Clicking on Preview button will open up the currently opened version of the app in the new tab. This is really handy when the app developer wants to immediately check the app preview in production.
Release
Release the app to publish the current version of the app and push the changes into the production.
ToolJet will block editing of the Released version of an app and will display a prompt to create a new version to make the changes. This is to prevent accidentally pushing an unfinished app to the live version.
