Finally I managed to redo everything. I first copied the sheet then I added the special columns in the Glide database. Then I copied all the components. It took me 6 hours of work but I’m glad to have the option to copy the app again. ---

I’m also not seeing this App Copy option on my sharing screen, it is a Pro App linked to a custom domain. I just want to copy the app it to my other account. Is there any other option to do this? ---

Did you build your app from a purchased template? ---

No, built it from scratch. I do see the checkbox in duplicates of this app, which are not Pro. ---

Yeah, I don’t think Pro apps can be copied. But allowing a fresh duplicate to be copied should do the trick, no? ---

This is strange or a bug. I pay for an app and can do less? ---

I’m not sure if it’s a bug, or a deliberate move by Glide. I suspect the latter. I’m also not sure how long it’s been this way - I noticed it recently and didn’t really give it much thought at the time. ---

Please share your info with support and we can investigate why it’s not copyable: [https://glide-help.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new](https://glide-help.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new) It may have been originally copied from a template somehow, in which case we can fix that. ---

@david, I’ve done that, but the advise was to go the duplication route, including downgrading from Pro, duplicating, transferring, upgrading, replacing the sheet, … And the real problem when transferring a production app (which has some data) is, that both the duplication and copy process ends with an error message, hence you’ll have to hope that the app is still consistent.
