Zapis Stanu Aplikacji - Savepoints | Bubble.io Quick Tip

Introduction

In this tutorial, we'll explore how to use savepoints in Bubble.io to effectively manage application state. Savepoints allow you to create snapshots of your app's data at specific moments, enabling easy rollback to previous states. This is particularly useful for testing, troubleshooting, or restoring app data without losing progress.

Step 1: Accessing the Savepoints Feature

• Log in to your Bubble.io account and open your application.
• Navigate to the "Data" tab in the editor.
• Click on "Version Control" found in the sidebar.

Step 2: Creating a Savepoint

• Inside the Version Control menu, you'll see the option to create a new savepoint.
• Click on the "Create Savepoint" button.
• Name your savepoint descriptively to easily identify it later (e.g., "Before Major Changes").
• Press "Save" to store this snapshot of your application’s current state.

Step 3: Reviewing Savepoints

• In the Version Control section, you’ll see a list of all created savepoints.
• Click on a savepoint to review what changes were captured.
• This will show you the state of the data and settings at the time of the savepoint.

Step 4: Restoring from a Savepoint

• If you need to revert to a previous state, go to the savepoints list in the Version Control section.
• Select the savepoint you want to restore.
• Click on the “Restore” button.
• Confirm the action to revert your application to the saved state.

Tips for Using Savepoints

• Regularly create savepoints before making significant changes to your application.
• Use clear naming conventions for savepoints to make it easier to identify their purpose.
• Keep track of the changes made between savepoints to avoid confusion during restoration.

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

• Forgetting to create a savepoint before major updates can lead to loss of data or settings.
• Overwriting existing savepoints without proper naming can make it difficult to track changes.

Conclusion

Using savepoints in Bubble.io is a powerful way to manage your application's state effectively. By following these steps, you can create, review, and restore savepoints as needed. This will enhance your development process, allowing you to experiment with confidence, knowing you can always return to a previous state if necessary.
