Hi, maybe I miss something… I am used to work with current user view in Airtable, and can´t find how it works in Glide. Thanks for your help!

What are you trying to control? With filters and visibility conditions, you can check for ‘signed in user’. If you are just trying to preview the app as a specific user, then you can set that by changing the ‘Preview As’ option at the top of the editor.

OK, do you mean it like this? For example…

Instead of “Name”, select “Email”. In the dropdown, “is signed-in user”.
