You mean you like the fact that after merging from dev to prod and ending up with prod checked out, it’s easy to mess up a production app, put it offline or even corrupt its database?
Perhaps the GitHub integration could do the job, but that’s a thing for a very small elite of Anvil users. The majority, including me, will never touch GitHub, and asking us to setup all our apps to sync with GitHub only as a workaround to bad UI design, is not acceptable. Especially considering that this wasn’t happening with the old editor, where the published branch was read-only, and you could only publish with an explicit action.
Right clicking on a branch and clicking on Make "prod" branch read-only would be much simpler and useful for every user, from beginners to experts.
EDIT
@danbolinson, I realize now that by “this” you meant my last post, not the whole topic.
The clarification about GitHub stays, but I do understand your position, no need to answer my first question
