Re-deploying your app
Deploy vs Redeploy
The first time that you create an app, you should deploy the app within Health Universe. Health Universe creates a secure container for the app, configures that virtual environment, compiles the code, and does a number of configurations to make sure that they app runs within the Navigator or Health Universe environment.
Once you've successfully deployed an app, you should use re-deploy. This allows you to update and change the code, but the rest of the app container and configuration remains the same. Redeployment is the most efficient (and effective) way to incorporate changes in your code. If you deploy the same app multiple times, you'll get unstable behaviors in Navigator, and difficultly in finding (and using) the apps that you've deployed.
1. Push Changes to GitHub
Before redeploying, make sure all your updates are committed and pushed to your app's GitHub repository:
git add .
git commit -m "Your update message"
git push origin main
🔁 Ensure you're pushing to the branch connected to your Health Universe app (usually
main
).
2. Redeploy on Health Universe
Once your changes are live on GitHub:
Go to your app on Health Universe.
Click Deployments on the top right of the navigation bar.
Find and click the production deployment box.
Click the Redeploy Button.
3. Review Deployment Logs
After triggering a redeploy, click the Build Logs box to open it.
Review the logs to confirm the app is rebuilding and redeploying successfully.
4. Launch Your Updated App
Refresh the page after deployment completes.
Click Launch to open and verify your changes are live.
