Styles behave differently depending on whether you are working in a branch or a published version of an application.
Branches
branches always use the latest style available in the environment—not the style associated with any specific version. If a newer style has been uploaded to the environment, branches automatically reflect it.
Published Versions
When an application version is published, the style applied at that moment becomes part of the version snapshot. Specifically:
The style path is updated to reference a copy of the style made at the time of publishing.
Style assets must use relative paths to ensure they resolve correctly across environments.
The snapshot captures the style as it existed when the version was published—subsequent style changes in the environment do not affect the published version.
Style Promotion
Styles are promoted with the application version. However, only the first version and its first promotion are visible in Style Administration and the associated Promotion History. Branches and versions created from them in higher environments will always use the original style unless the style is promoted independently of the application.
Preview Behavior
The preview style uses the environment's latest style for all interactions after the initial load. Switching styles in preview does not display the style associated with a specific version—it always reflects the current environment style.
Style Query Parameter
When the style query parameter is used to load a specific style, the environment's latest style is applied—not the style associated with the published version.
