Cool, so why not turn the detail screen into an overlay (appearing as a detail screen) ---

Not if you want it to look like a detail screen. You don’t always want an overlay. Very often you want proper detail screens. My question was from a technical perspective, why Glide isn’t turning the detail screen into an overlay from a technical standpoint as suggested by @Jeff_Hager > [@Allow "go back" action to return to same screen position](https://community.glideapps.com/t/allow-go-back-action-to-return-to-same-screen-position/59345/37): > > I think what would help is a full screen overlay, so the underlying list remains untouched while the overlay is open and filling the entire screen. Only problem is that there’s existing bugs with the back button that have never been fixed either, so the UX is less than stellar when trying to use overlays. ---

Andy - Any update on this topic (Glide remembering screen position when ‘going back’)? Thanks ---

> [@Harsh\_Salgia](#): > > Is this Problem going to solve in next few weeks? We don’t have anything new to share. As mentioned earlier in the thread, triggering a collection item to open the detail screen as a slide-in or overlay will preserve your position in the collection.
