Updating the CLI and publishing a new app version are separate steps. Your app version changes when you publish: `npx devvit publish` creates the next launch version, and you can control that with `--bump` or `--version` as described in [Launch your app](./launch/launch-guide.md).

After that, the subreddit still needs to be on the version you want installed. In other words, publishing a new version is not the same as updating every subreddit automatically. Use [`devvit install`](./tools/devvit_cli.mdx#devvit-install) or the normal app install/update flow for that subreddit to move it to the desired version.

There is also a manual path in the [App Directory](https://developers.reddit.com/apps/). Open your app there, then either use **Installed in communities** to select a subreddit and choose **Remove from community**, or scroll to the bottom of the app page and use **Archive** if you want to archive the app itself.

Be careful: uninstalling from a subreddit can remove that installation's stored data and settings. See [Mod resources](./best-practices/mod_resources.md) for the current warning about uninstall data loss. The current docs are much clearer about uninstalling from a subreddit than they are about a full developer-side "delete this app from the platform" flow.
