Create a Draft version & Publish App

States of an App

An application throughout its journey can have various states:

State of the App	Description
Unpublished	A new app is being created. But has not been published yet
Published with Draft changes	The app has a published version. It also has a Draft version which has not been published yet
Published	The app only has a published version. It does not have any draft version yet
Inactive	App has a published version. But has been made inactive & and cannot be initiated
Active	App has a published version which is active and can be initiated

An application can have only 2 versions at a time.

Draft version: It is the version of the application which has not been published yet. The user can continue to make changes to the draft version, and publish it once final
Published version: This is the version on which all the requests run. If a new version is published, then new requests should execute as per the new version.

Navigate to draft version from within the application
1. A user can click on a particular application from the app list by clicking on an app.
2. If the status of the application is 'Unpublished' directly the Draft version of the application would open. Otherwise, the published version of the app would open.
3. Which version the user is accessing can be viewed next to app name, under app details section
4. If no draft versions exist for application, the user can click on 'Edit App' to create a new draft version. Else, in order to view draft version, the same CTA changes to 'View Drafts'
5. When the draft version of the app opens, the user can view the version next to the app name.
Create/Open draft version from app listing view
1. From the app listing page as well, the user can view or create a draft
2. Explicit CTAs exist for both the actions next to the app name.
3. For 'Unpublished' application, since only the draft version exists, it always shows 'View Drafts' as a CTA
