I have a few legacy apps I need to redo in the new platform. I have alot of components each with filters, visibility logic etc… Is there an easy to help me reduce time rather then creating each component 1 at time ? Seems like I cannot copy and paste components. I cannot duplicate the apps. I was able to export and import the table side, but the front end component side is where I am having a headache. Any suggestions, tips and tricks are welcome. Thanks ---

When I had to go this I was able to copy all my back end tables, formula, and special properties but had to recreate my front from scratch. ---

Tables can be shared or imported, however layout and actions need to be recreated. ---

Pick any Classic App on your Glide Dashboard, hover over it and click the 3 dots… ![CleanShot 2024-03-07 at 12.11.29@2x](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/2/2/2255394d1ddf29de0aa25344b847481f2cbf03b9.png) ---

I think I have used this before, but in my current scenario it may not work, as the current (classic) app is using google sheets and once I migrate I want to get rid of googlesheets due to the syncs. Also when you do this, I assume the formulas are NOT copied across and you have to recreate the formulas again ? ---

Yes, there is no easy way to migrate from Google Sheets to native tables, I’m afraid. > [@Dan\_San](#): > > Also when you do this, I assume the formulas are NOT copied across and you have to recreate the formulas again ? All Glide computed columns will be copied, yes. ---

Hey Darren, I’ve got a [situation](https://community.glideapps.com/t/rows-missing-did-i-hit-the-free-limit/71497/2) where I’m on the Free legacy plan and want to move the new plans. But i can’t see the “New App from data” option when i click on the 3 dots. How can I migrate? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/1/9/1948701aef9800129485d57371355ef0cf84ed3d.png) ---

Or if you want to keep a copy in your legacy team folder, you can duplicate the app and transfer the duplicate. I tend to prefer moving a duplicate to make sure everything works as intended before committing to the new plan. As you’ve already mentioned, since you are using Google sheets, it will need to be a Maker plan at a minimum. ---

The New App from Data option only applies if you are converting a Classic App to a New App. That is completely separate from Legacy Plans and New Plans. ---
