Suggested Practice for modifying in use application in creator

Our organization is using zoho creator in live production but we're always needing to make changes to the live version. Sometimes (often) it seems making some changes can "break" our work flow and causes pains. What is the best method for updating production apps in separate environment and then deploying? Right now we're able to "replicate" the app and the work from there but the data does not transpose we it's copied. I suppose two main questions: 1) Is their a way to more automatically transpose current data when we replicate an application to work on changes outside of exporting can filed and reimporting? 2) When the temp "duplicated" app has the changed we need, can we transpose changes to the live production app, just pushimg the changes? Basically, how can we work outside of production app in "sandbox" mode and when necessary changes are done and tested to be up free, what's the easiest way to reflect the changes back to production without recoding and manually replicating the work to the production copy?
