Features & enhancements

Item	Description
Feature	Error banner on version conflict to prevent app creators from making changes that will be lost Currently if you have multiple tabs open with the different app versions and you make edits to a stale version, you will lose the changes and get a versioning error. This change will let app creators know in advance that the loaded version is not the latest, allowing them to refresh before making changes that would normally be lost on Save. Deployed to 30% of free users.
Enhancement	Period (.) characters can now appear in app names This change allows app names to include periods, such as Version 2.0.
Enhancement	Implemented visual updates to Gallery view They include visual changes to the app; no editor changes. For information, see this community post.
Enhancement	Implemented visual updates for in-app filtering For in-app filtering, the button to open the Filters drawer has been moved to the left of the chip bar for easier access and the styles of the filter chips have been updated. On wider screens/desktops, if the filter chips overflow, hovering over the chip bar shows right/left arrow buttons that will scroll to the end of the container when clicked.
