[Beta] Where are the Publish and Unpublish buttons?

Anvil Q&A

Ian, while I wait for the simplified one-click publishing, I tried working with the branches and environments. I followed these steps and it worked:

  • select master as the editing branch
  • edit, then, when I’m happy with my creation…
  • select published as the editing branch
  • right click on the master branch, then merge → the Merge into published dialog opens
  • type a commit message
  • click merge

The problem is that at this point published is the editing branch, and I risk to, well, edit it. Which is a big no no.

It would be nice to have a Make branch read-only checkbox while defining the environments, so I could set the published branch as read-only and the only way to edit it will be with a merge. Which is not going to happen by accident.
