APKs to retain in Google Play Developer Console : <p>Today one feature was added by Google Play Developer Console Team for managing the releases. </p>

<p>It has three options there for releases :- </p>

<blockquote>
  <p>APKs to add - </p>
</blockquote>

<p>I understand from this that When you upload new app or update your app then it will roll out on Google Play depends on the staged roll out percentage &amp; it will deactivate previous APK's from production. </p>

<blockquote>
  <p>APKs to deactivate</p>
</blockquote>

<p>This will list a set of APK's which were deactivated and no longer served on Google Play.</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>APKs to retain</p>
</blockquote>

<p>I could not understand meaning of this new feature ? Can anybody help me for this ?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
