# App versioning and release notes for Creator Studio apps

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

The [version number](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-development/creator-studio/creator-studio-glossary.md) 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

The [release notes](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-development/creator-studio/creator-studio-glossary.md) 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.
