Add Update for deck updates

New page

An '''Update''' represents an update to a [[Deck]]. Updates are used to tell players when the creator has published changes to a deck since it was last played.

== Types of update ==
Updates can be published for a few reasons:

* '''New content'''. For example, new levels or upgrades or areas were added to the deck.
* '''Major changes'''. The creator added new gameplay features, fixed issues, or made other changes.
* '''Announcement'''. The creator just wants to reach people who played the deck, for example to provide a devlog about their most recent progress.

== Who receives updates? ==
A message describing your update will appear for all players in your deck's comment thread. The update will pin to the top of your thread temporarily; after that, it will sort like a normal comment.

Players who '''bookmark''' a deck are eligible to get notified about updates for that deck. The update will appear at the top of the player's '''Explore''' screen, and they'll receive a notification about the update.

== Creating an update ==
To create an update, first make sure you've already published your [[Deck]] (i.e. set it to Public or Unlisted). After it's published, find the deck in your '''Create''' screen, then navigate to the '''Updates''' tab. There are a few fields you can use to describe the update:

* '''Update type''': Announcement, major changes, new content.
* '''Message''': A message describing the update.
* '''Card''': An optional card from your deck to attach to the update. The update card artwork appears instead of the deck's cover art in Jump Back In for users who have Bookmarked the deck. Players won't automatically be sent to this card unless you add logic in your deck; see below.

== Sending players to the update card ==
If you add an optional '''update card''' to your update, you can use [[Rules]] to send incoming players to the update card using the new response '''Send player to the most recent update card'''. You might want to only do this for returning players. You can use the [[Expression]] called '''the number of times the player has played this deck'''. For example, you can write this Rule:
If the number of times the player has played this deck is greater than 0, send player to the most recent update card
If you don't add this rule to your deck, all incoming players will remain on the deck's '''top card''', regardless of whether or not you added an update.
