Deploys and Versions

A show in IgorBox Studio is either a draft (you're editing it; it's not on any controller yet) or deployed (a copy is on your controllers, ready to fire).

Deploying a show​

In the timeline editor, click Deploy. Studio packages up the show, sends it to each targeted controller, and waits for them to confirm.

You'll see a progress indicator per target. A successful deploy ends with each one showing a green check.

If a controller is offline when you click Deploy, the show is queued. The next time the controller connects, it pulls the latest version automatically — Studio shows the queued state so you know it's not yet live.

Versions​

Every deploy creates a new version of the show. The Versions panel (in the show detail view) lists every version with:

  • The version number
  • When it was deployed
  • Who deployed it
  • Which controllers received it

You can see exactly what each controller is running and when it was last updated.

Rolling back​

If a deploy goes sideways and you need to get back to a known-good version:

  1. Open the Versions panel.
  2. Find the version you want to roll back to.
  3. Click Restore to Draft. The editor loads that old version as a draft.
  4. Verify it looks right.
  5. Click Deploy again.

Rollback is a two-step on purpose: it gives you a chance to verify what you're deploying, and it preserves the version history.

A note on audio​

For best playback results, use 44.1 kHz / 16-bit lossless audio (WAV or FLAC). Studio will warn you on the media card if you upload something outside that sweet spot. The deploy still goes through — it's just a heads-up.

Deleting a show​

You can't delete a show that's currently set as an ambient routine — Studio will block the delete and tell you which controllers are using it. Clear the ambient assignment first.
