Moving from Development to Production

[sevenrice]

I have a few questions on how to move an application to a production

1. Going live - moving the whole develop application to production?

2. Making changes to your production site once you have tested and built them out on the development site?

3. What happens to the database as when you move from development to production you may want the new database schema but not the actual data entries?

Thanks

If you aren't using a third party database app you will be using the Wappler database manager. There is documentation and videos on using that. If you are not familiar with databases I would use the DB manager.
