Why did the URL for my App all of a sudden automatically change to the following: [https://youthful-reading-0162.glideapp.io/](https://youthful-reading-0162.glideapp.io/) Was there a recent Glide system update ? Good thing I have not released it to the public yet. ---

What did it change from? That looks like one of the automatic URLs assigned when your app is first created. ---

I had an issue yesterday where one of my active apps went down (“Not found” page loaded in browser). When I checked the editor, the app wasn’t published yet — even though it definitely was because it was in active use prior to yesterday. I had to publish the app, then set my url again (publishing it again resulted in an automatic weird url, so I had to manually switch it back to the one I was previously using). This was a free app. ---

More users having the issue of published apps being unpublished and URLs resetting to system generated URLs. [https://community.glideapps.com/t/not-found/16734?u=abhilashabhatia](https://community.glideapps.com/t/not-found/16734) ---

@kyleheney can you DM us with more information about how active this app was? ---

[https://community.glideapps.com/t/not-found/16734/15?u=david](https://community.glideapps.com/t/not-found/16734/15) When you republish your app with the Share dialog, you can set the URL to the original link if you choose. ---

Thanks for this explanation @david. My app is only used once a week or so, and I can see that it had to little to no activity the last couple weeks (until yesterday). I’ll have to check a few others though in case they’re also affected! I create a lot of basic apps that are mostly just cool ways to document policies and procedures, so they’re free and rarely accessed, but I still need them. ---
