Available Update Options

When updating an app, a confirmation dialog indicates settings that will change. It lets users know what will change in advance and update the app with peace of mind.

Turning on "New Features in Development"
From the April updates, we plan to add functions to one of the update options, "New Features in Development," without prior notice on an unscheduled basis.
Features added to "New Features in Development" will not be enabled unless you Enable it in the "Kintone Administration"> "Update Options"> "New Features in Development" settings as usual.

Therefore, please be assured that even if a feature is added to "New Features in Development," it will not be enabled automatically.
