Hi there, Where do I configure in Glide to timeout the app during no activity? ---

What would you expect to happen after this timeout period? The app would reload, or the app would sign out the user if the user was logged in and inactive? Either way, this timeout setting would be located in the Settings are area of the project (project-level settings), I am pretty certain this feature does not exist yet. ---

I would expect the app to sign out the user due to inactivity. Can code be written to fulfil this requirement if this feature does not exist? ---

For me I would like it to reload and if user logged in then log them out. Well in the other order. For a public app where user is not logged in, the reload will take them to first page. ---

Was this every implemented? I’m wondering about timeout sessions myself. How the heck does a user update get pushed if the user never logs out. ---

Glide does not currently offer a built-in session timeout feature. > [@David\_Eldridge](#): > > How the heck does a user update get pushed if the user never logs out. When you make changes to your app’s data (like editing a row, adding new content, or updating a table) or adjust the app’s layout (such as modifying screens, components, or workflows), Glide automatically syncs these updates to all users. Users don’t need to log out to receive it. Data syncs happen much faster, layout syncs might take a few minutes.
