In my projects I use same glide table. I need to show the same components also but is not possible to copy and paste components from one project to another. My use case : The content explain how to onboard on my App and how to install PWA. This is generic content. It will work in all my app. Other option create a page template link to a glide table and call it when I create a new tab. ---

Hi, weird because it works for me between totally different apps without common tabs. nb: if I remember well, it did not work with the right click to paste, but did work with Ctrl + V ---

Hi. As @AyS_0908 mentioned above. you must try using the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl + V) or (Cmd + V) I think for Mac This is after copying all the components…just to make sure… To copy - use the right click and to paste - use keyboard shortcut… ---

It seems that you have 2 apps opened; are they with the same glide account? Try to: 1. Copy (right clic) 2. Close the current app 3. Open the target app 4. Paste (ctrl v or cmd v) ---

I just copied components from unrelated Apps with the table not exactly in sync or the same and it worked… I just need to fix the components and align ten with the table… The feature that work, I just don’t know where you might be going wrong… ---

In case you are having issues, I found that you need to copy paste from within the same browser tab When I copy between 2 open apps that are on 2 separate tabs, it does not work but if you follow @AyS_0908 instructions and stay within the same tab, it still works today, with key combination or right click on the components sidebar I just copied over a 100 containers/components inside and all is brought over except collections over relations (for obvious reasons) Hope that helps ---

Hi Xcel! I tried several times, but I could not copy and paste from one app to another, even when they were in the same tab in Google Chrome. 1. I´ve opened the “current app” and copied the component that I wanted; 2. Then I went back do the Dashboard, by clicking in the 9 dots icon on the top left corner; 3. In the Dashboard area, I have chosen the “target app”, opened it and tried to past. No success. Is there any trick to perform it? Many thanks! ---

Hey @Caio_Dias , What components were you trying to copy over?
