How are form updates propagated to devices after publishing changes?

• A. Updates are pushed to all devices immediately regardless of connection status.
• B. Forms synchronize to devices on next connect/sync; updates propagate according to publish settings.
• C. Updates require manual reinstallation on every device.
• D. Updates are ignored until a new publish cycle.

Answer: (B)

When you publish changes, the system doesn’t push them to every device right away. Instead, updates are held on the server and delivered to devices the next time they connect or perform a sync. The publish settings control who gets the update and when (for example, targeting certain groups or rolling out gradually). This means offline devices will receive the update as soon as they reconnect, and online devices will fetch it on their next sync. Updates aren’t delivered immediately regardless of connection, aren’t tied to manual reinstallation, and aren’t simply ignored until a new publish cycle.
