Multiple versions of app previously deployed are still visible and not overwritten by new deployment

Issue

I deployed a new version of our app on Appsmith Cloud, but it seems that the old version is still accessible through its link. Additionally, users are landing on the old "home page" instead of the new one we set for the updated version. This could be a bug. We need a way to disable previous deployments and ensure that the current version overrides all prior versions. We also need a feature to alert users to refresh the app or force refresh it when a new version is deployed.

Resolution

The issue reported is that when a new version of an Appsmith Cloud application is deployed, the old version is not completely overwritten, and links to the previous deployment can still be accessed, potentially causing confusion for users. The solution proposed is to alert users to refresh the app or force refresh the app when a new version is deployed. Additionally, there may be a bug where the new version's homepage does not display as the landing page for all users, and links to previous versions can land on their respective homepages.

The team is still working on clarifying the issue, and it may require further screen recordings or code examples to fully understand and resolve. However, the proposed solution of alerting users to refresh the app or force refresh the app when a new version is deployed could be a helpful workaround in the meantime.
