Extension Versions
Sigma allows you to create different versions of extensions to enable updates for your users. To create a new extension version,
- Navigate to an extension and click the Edit Extension button.
-
Perform the update in the editor and click Save.
- You can also create a new extension version by uploading the source code as a .zip file by clicking the edit icon.
- You will get a confirmation to save the new update as a draft. Click Yes, create.
- Now, Publish the extension again to create a new version.
Users can update the extension from their respective services to use the new version.
A maximum of 50 versions can be created for every single extension. To create more new versions, deprecate previous versions by clicking 
and confirm your action. Please note that this option is available only for workspace owners and extension owners. Once deprecated, the version cannot be retrieved.
Extension limits and deprecation are enabled only for Zoho Desk, Zoho Projects, Zoho Mail, Zoho Bug Tracker, and Orchestly extensions.
