When a user is given use only permissions, the top bar that allows the user to edit a page disappears. While this makes sense, it also removes the ability to choose which release/version the user would like to use.
Under permissions, there is a checkbox for "Allow access to unpublished releases". I had assumed that this would result in the top bar to reappear and allowing the user to select which release to use. However, the top bar doesn't reappear after checking this.
What is a user-friendly way to allow users to choose an earlier release?
One option for a temporary work around would be to pass the user an app URL with the version number included. As this URL link should open to unpublished release versions.
I was just looking through our internal tickets and this doesn't seem to be a flagged issue but I can create a ticket for allowing the header to remain while hiding only the 'edit app' button if the permissions do not allow for edit.
We can try that. Only issue is that we frequently push releases and it would be difficult for the team to remember which release they would like to use unless presented with a list. Our use case is that most of our users use our applications in the night, when we don’t have Dev support. In case anything goes wrong, we’d just like them to be able to access an older version.
It seems like they should be able to do this already by editing the URL, but just not in a user friendly way. Would be great if there was an option that would reshare the top bar with certain users if selected as part of their permissions.
Ahh I see, thank you for the added details. That makes sense.
I made a feature request but I am not sure how high this is on our roadmap.
The best work around would be to share out a URL of the last version behind the latest. Unless you need to have some users going back to even older versions.
There may be a way to build out a component that has a list of versions (list view maybe )and on button click of a component switch the URL or provide a URL to copy paste. Allowing for a visual listing of options.
