# Version Control

This is an advanced way to handle versions and the published app. To see basic settings, which should be sufficient for most cases, visit [publish](https://docs.acho.io/app-builder/publish "mention").&#x20;

The version control is not available for auto publishing, you can enable [manual publishing](https://docs.acho.io/publish#manual-publish) to use version control

Version Management can be opened from the top left corner of the App Builder. This is where we handle all version-related actions.

Here is an example of what you’ll see in Version Management after creating a new app.
