Hi there,

when I started building an app in Glide, the now Classic app was the way to go because the other (pages) option was still limited.  
But some months ago, my app became Classic and Glide promised a “conversion” option.

1. How can I convert a Classic app to the new standard?
2. I am using Airtable integration but in Classic, I cannot use the new authentication method. Any plans of supporting this? Or am I missing something?

Any suggestions?

Thx. for the feedback.

Yes you’d still have to rebuild the screens, but I honestly I can’t see how Glide could reliably convert a classic app to a new app without some kind of manual work required by us after the fact. There’s just enough differences between the two that I feel a one-to-one conversion would be difficult or inaccurate. Even if …
