Can I hide the back button at the top? I want to use the button on the page to go back and also to automatically populate a set of data.
Use this in a rich text component
<pre><span><style>
[data-test="back-button"] {
display: none;
}
However users can still use a swipe left action or Android’s back button to navigate back, you don’t have control over those.

Very nice, can you explain to me where I can use this code?

As he said, a Rich Text component.
Just add a rich text component to the screen where you want to use it, and paste that CSS into it.
If you want to use it in more than one place, then a good idea is to add it as a template column in your User Profiles table, and then you can use it anywhere.

That only worked with the old Classic Apps. It doesn’t work with the new Apps.
Just as a side note - if you think you need to hide the Back Button, then there is something wrong with your App flow or your logic. Even if you do manage to find a way to hide it, you won’t stop users from using their browser back button.

Now that is a very good point Darren, thank you. I have changed the flow and logic based on user behaviour…I’ll tweak that instead. I was just looking for the easy option and was confused why the rich text workaround wasn’t working.
More on that, CSS would only work on Business & Enterprise levels in the new Glide Apps, but the same code you used on Classic most likely won’t work.
On the new Glide Apps, you have a centralized place to input your CSS.
