Show an error message when the current development tab is not the latest version

[Steven_Aung]

It will be nice if we can see warning message showing the current development tab is not the latest version.

The current issue is we might do a lot of changes in an app development panel without realizing that it’s not in the latest version. Then we we try to save it, we got the error and we lost all those changes.
Preemptively showing an error message will be a life and time saver.

How would this occur unless you have the app editor open in more than one browser window?

[Steven_Aung]

Yes. Even opening an app editor in multiple tabs.

Sometimes, I might open the same app in two tabs. One for authoring and another one to do quick references such as look up column names.

Hey @Steven_Aung, mind moving this to the #requests category? Want to make sure it stays on our radar, think this could be very useful.

[Steven_Aung]

It’s moved to “Feature Requests”.

Hi @Peter ,

Related to this feature, I found an issue and also provided a suggestion in following post

I lost all my saved works Questions

It happened twice already. Lucky that in both cases, I was doing just UI updates. Steps that I did Updated a table to “Read-only” state (That saving stick) I want to update a table view based on another table view. So to reference that, I open the same app in another window. Saved the table view successfully. And start adding/updating format rules. I did few saving. During the process, my saving start acting abnormal. Although I save the editor, I didn’t refresh. So I reloaded the whole edito…

Please take a look.

Can you also put the current version number in some sticky place like beside the app name.

Thanks
