What is Auto Upgrade?
Auto Upgrade is a feature that can be enabled for ShortPoint New Upgrade. With this feature, ShortPoint will be updated automatically whenever a new version is released. You do not need to open the ShortPoint Dashboard anymore to upgrade to the latest version.
Once you upgraded your sites to the New Upgrade version for the first time, Auto Upgrade option will be enabled by default.
NOTE: In case you decided to use the Sandbox Mode, turn the Auto Upgrade toggle off. To know more of this feature, you may go to ShortPoint SPFx Sandbox Mode.
INFO: You may also preview any ShortPoint version using the ?sp-preview=<version> query string at the end of your URL. If you want to know how it works, please check Preview Any ShortPoint SPFx Version on a Page Using URL Parameter.
Rollback option
Rollback option is not available for Auto Upgrade, since it is designed to keep your sites on the latest ShortPoint version.
NOTE: Rollback option is only available for Sandbox Upgrade Mode.
In case you decided to roll back to the previous ShortPoint version, you need to disable the Auto Upgrade first.
Then, click Rollback to previously installed version.
Beta version
When a new Beta version is available, you may be automatically updated to the latest version if you have Auto Upgrade enabled (depending on our release waves schedule).
To preview the latest Beta version, disable Auto Upgrade.
Click Beta.
Then, click Sandbox Mode (Beta).
If you liked the Beta version and want to upgrade to it, click Upgrade to Beta.
