After you create your Blocks app, use the Wix Blocks testing feature to test its functionality on a site. This is why a Test version is useful:
If you're building an app that wasn't installed on a site yet:
If your working on an existing app, that was already installed on one or more sites:
Note When a test version is installed on a site and you build another version it in Blocks, the changes will affect both the Wix Editors (after refreshing) and the live site (after refreshing).
Important You can only have one version installed on a site. If you install the test version it overwrites the live version that you installed previously (this is why we recommend to install a test version on a test site).
To create a test version:
To update your test version after more changes:
Automatic test version after first build Note that when you build your app for the first time, even if you never clicked Test, Blocks creates a first test version for your package. This is true only for the first time. After that, you must click Test Version to update your test version.
When you install a test version it is clearly labeled in your list of installed apps.
After you've installed the test version in the editor, it's time to publish your site. Note that the test version only comes into effect when the site is published - nothing will happen before publishing. You can choose whether to publish the site or a test version of the site (recommended). This allows you to check the behavior of the test version discreetly without impacting the live site.
To publish a test site:
Then, click Create New Test Site to confirm that you want to discard the previous test site, if there is one, and create a new one.
When you create the test site, the editor provides its URL.
When you are done testing your app, you can build a major or minor version in Blocks and install it on your site.
