App Blueprint - Comprehensive As Built Settings & Functionality Documentation. Use Case: As Glide app developers, we often invest significant time configuring complex apps with numerous settings across Appearance, Integrations, User Agreements and other sections. When functionality issues arise weeks or months later, troubleshooting becomes challenging without documentation of the original configuration.
An “App Blueprint” feature would automatically generate a comprehensive reference document capturing all app settings, components, and configurations. This would:
- Serve as a disaster recovery reference if settings are accidentally changed
- Provide documentation for team handovers or client deliverables
- Enable faster troubleshooting by quickly identifying changed settings
- Create a historical record of app evolution through versions
The Blueprint would include all App Info metadata, component configurations, data structures, and integration settings in an exportable format that developers could reference when maintaining apps long-term.
This feature would significantly enhance the professional development experience in Glide and support enterprise-level app maintenance.
