This is being worked on, but generally it’s not a good idea to start changing headings once they are used in the app. This is how Glide links everything together.

Like I said, Glide will soon be able to handle column renames without disturbing your app. If you do temporarily put your spreadsheet into a bad state, don’t click “Reload sheet” in Glide until the spreadsheet is back in order.
