Each deployed version of an app must have a version number and release notes, which helps administrators track app usage and changes.

## App version number {#creator-studio-app-release-versioning__section_uns_tph_v1c}

The [version number](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/nliD8WmMVPd9fJnZiLDpOw#gloss-version-number "A number assigned to the app that increases with each subsequent time it's deployed.") enables admins to track which version of the app is deployed to each instance. Follow your organization's versioning guidelines, or use the x.y.z format, where x = major update, y = minor update, and z = patch.

Creator Studio automatically updates the next version when you update a deployed app, for example from 1.0.0 to 1.1.0 and then to 1.2.0.

## App release notes {#creator-studio-app-release-versioning__section_vwl_fqh_v1c}

The [release notes](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/nliD8WmMVPd9fJnZiLDpOw#gloss-release-notes "The information about what's included in each new version of the deployed app. Release notes help administrators to track what the changes are between app versions.") help admins track what the changes are between app versions. When submitting your app for deployment, specify information that helps people understand differences between app
versions.
