New pages in App disappeared

User Talk Apps

Hi guys,

looking for some insight.

My colleague has spent some time today setting up a new App for us and built several pages into it. I can see them in the log. However the pages disappeared, no one can see them. Unfortunately the last App backup was from 10am, so it is not helpful.

Has this happened to anyone before? Any hope of getting the pages back? Any explanations as to how this happened in the first place?

Is it possible that two users edited the app at the same time?

Here is what can happen:

  • User A opens the app in edit mode
  • User B opens the add in edit mode
  • User B makes a lot of edits (which are saved)
  • User A makes one edit based on his version of the app (which are saved)

Because user A works on an older version, the edits by user B may be overwritten.

In the latest version, the page navigation structure is managed on the server side. When a new page is added, an API request is sent to the server to facilitate this addition. Working on different versions is unlikely to result in the navigation being overwritten by another user, except in cases where multiple users add a page simultaneously, leading to a concurrent update in the database.

So, since we have just been updated to 6.1.8, this is very unlikely to happen again?

This should be rare. If you have the issue again, just let me know.
