I have a scenario when the user has opened the app and never closes it and there will be an instance where the app is updated to a newer version but his app is still on the last version as it was not refreshed. is there a way we can let them know that the current version they are in is outdated and must refresh the page to update?

    Hi @nagestiada ,

    You would need a reference list with one field and one record and would need to set a Variable, which you would hard-code for each version at App OnStart

    Set(gblVersion, "YourVersionNumber")

    with the Visible on the message

    With(
     {wVersion: First(YourReferenceList).YourReferenceField},
     YourReferenceVariable <> wVersion
    )
