# FAQ

## Why can't I enable developer mode?

Developer Mode lets you create standard documents like DocType, Page, Report, Workspace, etc. These are standard as they are persisted on disk as JSON files. These must be part of an app. You cannot add these files to the standard Frappe and ERPNext apps. Therefore, you will need to [create your own app](https://frappecloud.com/docs/benches/custom-app).



Furthermore, apps on Frappe Cloud are ephemeral. We pull a fresh copy from Github every time a new bench is deployed.Therefore, even if you do manage to enable developer mode, your changes shall not persist.  
 

That is why you cannot enable developer mode on Frappe Cloud. You must create those features as a part of a custom app and then upload it on Frappe Cloud to use it.
