on components - edit - allow users to edit: I am trying to create something where it shows examples and then they can add their own example (playbook) to it. However, if I allow them to edit certain sections or all sections, does it edit the main app or only their specific copy of it? ---

Depends on the setup. If the screen that their editing is already filtered to their information, then they’ll only be able to edit their info. Set a filter on the edit screen where user is signed in user. ---

You can also conditionally show the edit button by signed in user, so only their own examples are editable by them.
