📌 Daily Glide Tip – Speed Up with Component Copy-Paste

Rebuilding the same layout for multiple screens? Glide’s component copy-paste is your shortcut to consistency.

It works best when the screens are based on the same table and row—like when you’re switching between an Add form and an Edit form for the same item.

Here’s a practical example:

:memo: Say you have a form to add a task with fields like:

Task Name

Notes

Due Date

You’ll likely want the same layout in the Edit form.

:white_check_mark: Right-click the components section on the left → Copy all
:white_check_mark: Open the Edit form screen → Right-click → Paste

Glide will match components to fields automatically—saving you time and reducing errors.

Pro tip: Always double-check visibility rules and actions after pasting.

Use this yet? Drop a :high_voltage: if it sped things up for you.

Also a good practice for screens is to start with a container, put your items in that container. Then you can just copy that container and paste it. Containers are like headers for the sub content allowing much flexibility and grouping

Yes, I like the containers a lot. Also great for visibility conditions based on roles or any other
