Bundles (Workbench)

Download and manage app bundles from Synkronus into the active profile workspace.

Open Workbench → Bundles (#/workbench/bundles).

Prerequisites

  1. Configure and authenticate a profile on Profiles.
  2. Ensure the Synkronus server has an active app bundle published.

Server bundle information

The Server panel shows:

  • Active version — the bundle version currently active on Synkronus
  • Hash — content hash of the active bundle
  • Download & apply — fetch the bundle ZIP and install it into bundles/active/
  • Versions on server — list of all published versions and whether each is archived locally

Click Refresh from server to reload the version list and manifest from Synkronus.

If the server bundle differs from what is installed locally, a warning appears: Server bundle differs from local workspace.

Local workspace

The Local workspace panel shows the bundle currently applied on this device:

  • Version and hash
  • Downloaded timestamp

Downloaded bundles are stored under bundles/active/ in the profile workspace (app/, forms/, etc.).

Developer mode

The Bundles page is also where you configure Developer mode:

  1. Turn Developer mode On.
  2. Browse… to a folder containing index.html (your local custom app build).
  3. Use Refresh app after each rebuild.

While developer mode is on, an orange banner on all Workbench pages shows the folder path and a Refresh app shortcut.

Developer mode mirrors your folder to bundles/dev-local/ without overwriting bundles/active/. See the full guide: ODE Desktop developer mode.

Typical workflow

  1. Download & apply the server bundle.
  2. Open Form preview or Custom app to test.
  3. For local iteration, enable developer mode and point at your dist/ output.
