Yes, you can create different versions of the mobile application for different types of users. The application will download the correct app configuration after a user synchronizes the application – for instance, a sales rep will get a different setup of the application from what a service technician uses.

=== Can multiple users update app projects in parallel? ===
Yes, multiple users can use Woodford simultaneously. They can even work on the same app project. However, they should not edit the same component, for example, both editing the default form for the account entity. In this case, they might end up overwriting each other's work when saving changes.
One possible caveat worth remembering is that behind the scenes, app projects are saved as files. In most cases, project files correspond to a particular separate component, for example, a form or a view. One notable example is the [[Sync Filter]]: all entities are saved in a single file; i.e., parallel work on the Sync Filter is not practical.
In this context, we also recommend using [[GitHub integration]] to save project changes online so that you can track the changes and their authors, and possibly return to previous versions easily.
