My understanding is that app urls are directly coupled to app and folder names. Url structure: {subdomain}.tryretool.com/apps/{folder_name}/{app_name}
. If you change the app or folder name, the previous url seems to no longer work.
Our typical Retool workflow is as follows:
- Engineering team creates / updates / maintains apps on Retool (edit mode).
- Non-technical ops people use those apps (read-only mode). Typically the engineering team creates bookmarks for them and they just click on the link / bookmark (as opposed to firing up Retool and opening the app via Cmd + K).
We (engineering team) would like to rename some apps & folders without breaking existing links. Is that possible?
Public / embedded links are kind of what I'm looking for, in the sense that those links are not coupled to app name & folder, but ideally we'd like to not make the app public and leverage Retool authentication & permissioning that work out of the box when one goes to a {subdomain}.tryretool.com/apps/{folder_name}/{app_name}
link.
It would be nice to be able to create a permanent link for each app that's not coupled to its app name/folder. For example, create a url such as {subdomain}.tryretool.com/apps/{unique_id_that_doesnt_change}
that maps to {subdomain}.tryretool.com/apps/{folder_name}/{app_name}
, similar to embedded links but without making the app public.
