Yes — if multiple people will edit the app, you should use versioning and approvals.
Why versioning matters
- Keeps a history of changes
- Lets you roll back if something breaks
- Helps avoid people overwriting each other’s work
- Makes it easier to track who changed what and when
Why approvals matter
- Prevents unreviewed changes from going live
- Catches mistakes, security issues, and conflicts
- Gives someone ownership over what gets published
- Is especially important if the app affects customers, data, or business workflows
A simple rule
If:
- 1 person is editing, and it’s a low-risk app → versioning is still useful, approvals may be optional
- 2+ people are editing → versioning is strongly recommended
- 2+ people and the app is important or customer-facing → use both versioning and approvals
If you want, I can also suggest a simple workflow for versioning + approvals that works for small teams.
