Hi!  
I know it’s no code, but, even Figma / XD can share components to make our work smarter & cooler.  
It’s so tedious to copy-paste and not even keep all the code (like an action : all customized actions are set to “None”, most of the time).  
And it’s so standard to just share a clickable logo throughout the app and update it from 1 single place.  
Does it fit with Glide’s mindset?  
Thks!

I agree with you! It is enough to realize the ability to save components as templates within a user account, with the possibility of reusing them in other applications. Even if this option will be paid (per account), I think many of us will agree to use this functionality extension.

Thks, migo 🙂  
I just noticed as well you cannot copy-paste component from one app to another (say your dev app to your production app)  
Frustrating.

+1 for this feature request …

Although I must add that components lately do keep the actions PROVIDED the screen/table/sheet you copied from is the same as the sheet you are copying to…  
Unless you mean global copy & paste of component and actions regardless of the screen you are on or copying the component to…  
I would vote for this feature but I am at my limit with votes.

1. Private storage option (16 Total Votes)
2. Regex data Validation (3 total votes)
3. In App notifications (4 total Votes)
4. We need a CHAT Component ( 17 Votes)
5. Better & Consistent If Then Else Logic (9 total Votes)

Well, Luther, even though you have exactly the same components and contents and your copied action very seldom copies the whole stuff (like a logo that always navigate to the Help screen wherever you are, and appears 10-20 times within your tabs, the details, the “more” details… You have to copy and reselect the whole settings… If you want to show exactly the same Help screen.).

Don’t worry. I myself have no more votes in store (I think).  
But thks for your support 🌸😊
