Hello, The fact that the app is being auto updated is causing me BIG issues. Aside for the fact that it’s super frustrating that I have no control over when a new version of the app is “released”, there for often I have unfinished feature available to the public, which is embarrassing at the very l…

From what I understand, it’s in the works. [image] Making Edits to Published App Glide FAQs We plan to offer this in the next few months (you will be able to make changes that only go live when you click ‘Update’ or ‘Publish’)

Thank goodness. Please make it a priority!!! :woozy_face: :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

I ask on almost a weekly basis! It’s my understanding that this is imminent, but I would guess that the security center and the new “role based security” that we read about yesterday took priority…hopefully the publishing control is coming very, very, very, soon. I agree with you because it’s an imp…

What I like to do is set tab/component visibility to only show when email is my email address. Then, when it’s ready to reparase, I remove the condition.

Ha! Yes, can totally relate to your issues. I am lucky that my app is not yet public, only 5 beta testers, but it will be in about a week!

That doesn’t work if you’re changing/working on existing tabs. It’s fine for new tabs and I do it. I’m not usually a judgy person, but I personally think it’s unacceptable that we don’t have proper publishing control yet.

Yeah, it’s an idea but it’s not a solution. In all my years of working with software and developing at least 20 of them, it was never even heard of to release a new version without any control over it. I don’t want my users to not see some tabs because I am working on it, because then I’ll get peopl…

Same. That’s exactly why I find it unacceptable, I mean no disrespect to the Glide team because I know they have unimaginable amounts of conflicting priorities but this one is simply fundamental.

Just imagine how it was when I started using Glide a little over a year and a half ago. There wasn’t a fraction of the features we have now and everything had to be done in the google sheets (there was no such thing as a data editor or Glide columns). It was a pretty basic tool to make pretty basi…

Thank you @Jeff_Hager ! it’s obvious Glide team is moving FAST and does a great job! All we want is that this particular feature moved to the top of the list :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: :star_struck: :star_struck:
