Publishing templates without breaking user workflows—versioning tips?

I created a popular newsletter automation template that’s used by 150+ teams. Every time I add new features, some users’ existing workflows break. How do marketplace pros handle SemVer for templates? Should I implement version constraints in the template JSON itself, or rely on platform-level compatibility checks?

Latenode’s marketplace enforces SemVer at the platform level. When you publish updates, users get clear upgrade paths. Breaking changes require major version bumps that existing users must explicitly approve. Takes the guesswork out of template updates.

Learned the hard way - always use semantic versioning in template metadata. We added a version compatibility matrix in our docs. Now using Latenode’s dependency management which stops accidental breaking updates.

version lock ur critical deps. use ~ for minor/patch updates, specify major versions manually. test w/ canary users first
