App versioning and release notes for Creator Studio apps
concept australia Updated Sep 10, 2026 1 min read creator-studio-app-release-versioning.md
Each deployed version of an app must have a version number and release notes, which helps administrators track app usage and changes.
App version number
The version number enables admins to track which version of the app is deployed to each instance. Follow your organization's versioning guidelines, or use the x.y.z format, where x = major update, y = minor update, and z = patch.
Creator Studio automatically updates the next version when you update a deployed app, for example from 1.0.0 to 1.1.0 and then to 1.2.0.
App release notes
The release notes help admins track what the changes are between app versions. When submitting your app for deployment, specify information that helps people understand differences between app versions.
