First of all, thanks a lot for your helpful tips!  
I’d like to add a button with **Delete Row**. The problem is: it deletes immediately.

I already created a workflow and used _Show Notification_, but that just shows some text and then deletes the row right away.

What I would like instead is:  
Do you really want to delete?

Yes → Delete row  
No → Go back to input without delete

- Change the action to Show New Screen → This item, make the target Overlay or Slide-in
- On the next screen, add a suitable message, plus a button block with two buttons: Confirm and Cancel
- The Confirm action should delete the row
- The Cancel action should close the overlay

Yeah, I asked for that Delete Warning Notification option to return years ago like it was in the old Classic apps and like it is in the new apps for deleting uploaded images and files (clicking on the X). Seems custom coding it won out instead of making it a default “Options” for the Delete action.

It certainly could prevent accidental row deletes and save on the need to code it up manually.

Finally working on trying to test building our app over in the “New” Apps and it’s definitely a complete “Rethink” on how it gets designed. Missing some of the simple visual layout things like centering an image. Should NOT need to do this through code or CSS in Glide. Learned the hard way that there is now no pop up warning before Deleting items. Can this feature be added in the new Apps? If you “Accid…

Hi Darren,

Done: Change the action to Show New Screen → This item, make the target Overlay or Slide-in

But Problems with this:

- On the next screen, add a suitable message, plus a button block with two buttons: Confirm and Cancel
- The Confirm action should delete the row
- The Cancel action should close the overlay
- 

you mean next screen in Workflow? Dont find suitable message in workflow(+)  
Cant Buttons put in Workflow… Thats really complex for me…

No, screens don’t exist in workflows 🙂

You have an existing button, that does a Delete Row-\>This item action.  
Change that action to Show New Screen-\>This item.  
Now when you click on the button, you get a completely new screen, attached to the row you are considering deleting. There will be some default components on that screen. Delete them all, then carry on from there… ⬇
