Changes to the Process of Applying Access Permission Settings 
The Kintone development team plans to revise the process of updating apps involving changes to access permission settings. The process of applying the updated access permission settings and other app updates to records will be split into multiple steps. Furthermore, applying access permission settings to records will be divided into multiple steps. The multi-step approach will help resolve the high load problem on Kintone when updating apps.
With the new approach, the message displayed on the settings page will also change while applying the updated access permissions settings to records.

Before the official release, you can try the changes by enabling the corresponding option under "New Features in Development" in the Update Options setting.
