Button will not show up in live app if action is set to open a new screen

This is a problem I have not had in the past, but when you add a new button and set the button to open a new screen the button will show in the glide editor but won’t show in the live app.

Are you previewing as the same user in both the builder and the published app? What is the source of the new screen? Is it set to This Item, a Relation, a Query, or a Table. Typically when you don’t have any visibility conditions set, the button will still be hidden if there is no data on the destination bacreen to show. For example, the button is on a detail screen that is not connected to a row, so This Item would lead you nowhere. Or a relation, or query, or table that is empty. Row Owners also play a role in determining if the destination has data or not.

Ah thank you! You helped me figure it out. The data wasn’t pointing to my table. It was pointing to “this item”. I appreciate the help!
