Hi all,

I wonder, what is the best available feature or method (maybe upcoming metrics?) to e.g. keep track of what versions the users are running in the field and how to aggregate or group them together by counts for each version.

Cheers

Using .NET and ASP.NET Core btw.

I believe the closest we have is to use releases

the release can be the version, adoption can help you know which versions your users are running
