Development Version
The Dev Version of a Tulip app is the work-in-progress of your application after an app has been published. If a Station is assigned to run the Development version of an application, it will see live changes as they are made in the app editor.
Generally, Stations running in production will be running the Published Version of an Application.
Published Version
The Published Version of a Tulip app is a complete version of your Application. When an app is ready to be run in production, its logic can be frozen by Publishing that app. One application can have multiple published versions. If a Station is assigned to run the Published version of an application, it will only see changes when they are published.

Tulip Player is the Windows/Mac executable program where users can run Tulip apps. Tulip player allows you to create a more seamless user experience by removing the need for a web browser and allows increased IT controls.
Interface (Display Device)
Users interact with Tulip applications through physical devices like touchscreens, PC monitors, mobile devices, and LCD screens. We refer to these as interfaces. Interfaces must be assigned to a station in order to run applications.
Station
Stations are a digital representation of a physical place or device in your facility. Stations are 1:1 with Interfaces (display devices) running Tulip Player, but Stations can also be assigned Edge Devices, Tulip Vision Camera Configurations, Machines, and more.
Tulip Instance
A Tulip customer account. Your instance can be found at https://[your-instance].tulip.co
When your instance is referenced, we are just talking about your Tulip account on an organization-level, not user-level.
