Hello, Currently, I have an app that I shared that is called scooby .glideapp.io. I have made some edits that are hard to fix on this app. Can I change the link name of the original app and call the copy of the app scooby .glideapp.io. In this way, I can continue sharing the app and edit the copy of the app. Does this make sense? I would greatly appreciate your feedback Thank you ---

Thank you for this additional information. That was very helpful. However, I was wondering if I can change the link name of one app and change the link of the copy of the app to the original link name because I think I screwed up the original app and it is just easier to start all over with the copy then to fix the original. So can I change the original link name and then name the link of the new app, the original link name ---

As Darren said above, you can do that, just make sure you change the URL of the old name first before changing the new one. I believe it would take a while to migrate, and your users might have to sign in again. ---

How long would it take to migrate, do you think? ---

I don’t have an exact number for that, just a warning for you that it might not be as instant as you want. I don’t expect it to be more than 1 hour, though.
