Edit App after publishing it

[Anonymous]

I was about to ask how to edit an App after publishing it but through frustration i clicked almost everyone button.  Its unintuitive but you have to select "Publish App" again from the appropriate workspace.  This isn't what i would have expected to have to click.

I figured i'm not going to be the first person be unsure, and hopefully this helps someone.

This is the most un-intuitive thing I could ever think of. How could a company make a button to edit something and no clear save button, but rather expect you to abandon the navigation pane just to update the app again and then ... miraculously see that the app has actually been updated with the section changes.

Thank you for posting this ...  I would be so happy with a "update app" (save or publish...) on the top pane after I have clicked on eddit app pencil.

Thanks poster you helped me solve this!!

Hi @Anonymous

I would suggest watching this video from Guy In a Cube

https://guyinacube.com/2017/05/using-apps-app-workspaces-power-bi/

Really useful and great information on how to use the Apps.

It seems to only be on the Guy In a Cube for some reason. And yes I can recommend it also. Thanks @Anonymous

Thanks for the feedback guys. We will make it easier and more intuitive.

Out of curiosity, what do think is the most intuitive way to do this?

Id suggest a simple button "publish app" on the top pane woud sufice.  Then id intuetively see here I can "save the changes". After pressing an edit app button, there needs to be a "save app" button

Not knowing if this is possible, my suggestion would be to change the button depending on whether an App exists or not.

So "Publish App" would change to "Update App" once an app is published.  If you unpublish the app, then it would revert to "Publish App".

Ok thanks. that is what we are planning as well. Good to know that it aligns with your expectation.
