Apptivate Prompt changes


I am really stunned by seeing quick changes from StackOverflow team. Let me explain what actually happens.

Yesterday I uploaded an app on http://apptivate.ms/ which is organized jointly by Microsoft and StackOverflow. When I today try to edit my app data there a textfield appears naming "describe your changes" and I thought it would be like what are the changes you have make in your before and after app. Fot the users who dont know what actually before and after app. Basically this contest is for the developers who has ported their app from iOS, Android to Windows platform, so before app is iOS or Android version while after app is windows version.

So when I tries to describe the changes that I have make in after and before app, on saving it throws me an error "No change found", I get frustrated for 5 mins and the posted a question on http://meta.stackoverflow.com/ for finding out the answer. Here is the link of that question http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/183067/describe-your-changes-text-field-not-taking-any-text-in-my-apptivate-app. And I got answer that its not for that actually this textfield is for writhing  the changes you have done while editing your app. After finding this out I got very embarrassed and I thought I am not able to understand these few english words.

But after some time I received another answer on same question http://meta.stackoverflow.com/a/183092/224321, there it is written "I'm changing the field description from "Describe your changes" to "Edit summary", to avoid any confusion." I got very happy after reading this and when I see the page i got changes reflected. see the changed image(I dont have the previous image as I have no idea this case will come :P)
