Can I have my app update automatically?

The AppSheet editor performs automatic updates by default. Changes made by the user are automatically sent as they occur. Changes made by other users are retrieved by the editor every 30 minutes.

    • Save - Save the app.
    • Save & verify data - Save the app and verify that it is runnable based on external dependencies.
