Learn how to promote a versioned application between environment levels. Unlike regular Unqork applications, versioned applications use the Promotions and Versions page to promote applications between environments. Environment levels in Unqork support each phase of the application development process, including Staging, QA (Quality Assurance), UAT (User Acceptance Testing), Production, and so on.
Learn more about the basic environment levels in our Unqork Promotions Order article.
