Currently there is no way to quickly tell whether a place you have open in Studio is saved or published (you can see in Asset Manager if it’s saved/published but this only works if you’ve actually saved or published).
This has recently caused me some serious issues where an update that I have made to fix a critical bug was somehow not published and I had no idea this wasn’t the case.
Now that you can “save” a place without “publishing” it, it is more important than ever that Studio adds some sort of icon in the corner that quickly conveys whether the state of the game you are looking at is
- Has unsaved changes
- Is saved but not published
- Is published and being run in all new servers
This could be as easy as a red/orange/green circle.
This will prevent almost all the errors that I’ve encountered where it appears roblox didn’t “publish” my update because I thought I pressed Alt+P but somehow hadn’t.
