Here is a deep link demo in markdown wrapped inside a rich text component!

Even funnier…I did not use (1) sharing options; and (2) link to current screen Update: If your app is set to public, you can navigate to different tab on your app using deep link even in build mode, using my example. ---

I have done a back-to-back deep link demo of chapter 12 (no row ID) and Chapter 12 content (row ID) using rich text. ## [Deep link demo to Chapter 12 content](https://glidesheet.glideapp.io/dl/ewAiAHQAIgA6ADAALAAiAHMAIgA6ACIAYwBsAGEAcwBzAC0AbgBhAHQAaQB2AGUALQB0AGEAYgBsAGUALQA5AEwAdgB4AG8AdwByAHcAbQBPAE0AaAA1AFcANABkAHAAYQBUAFEAIgAsACIAcgAiADoAIgBKAEgARQBZAGQAUwBIAHMAVABuAGUAVgB5AFQAdgA5AEoAaQBqAGcAbgB3ACIALAAiAG4AIgA6ACIAVwBpAHoAIgB9AA%3D%3D) ---

Hi @Ns_Melaka. As wrote @SantiagoPerez, it doesn’t work on pc. And Deep Link is only for Details Screens. It does not work for tabs. By the way, this could be a new feature: Deep Links for each tab! ---

Sorry guys, got so carried away yesterday I copy pasted URL in the wrong order. That’s probably why you didn’t see the back-to-back connect.And, yes must be Details screen. All screens are on tabs (details or not), but I also see the difference, and it’s an important one when it comes to deep links I suppose. . Here is the correct back to back demo- ## [Deep link demo to Chapter 12 content](https://glidesheet.glideapp.io/dl/ewAiAHQAIgA6ADAALAAiAHMAIgA6ACIAYwBsAGEAcwBzAC0AbgBhAHQAaQB2AGUALQB0AGEAYgBsAGUALQA5AEwAdgB4AG8AdwByAHcAbQBPAE0AaAA1AFcANABkAHAAYQBUAFEAIgAsACIAcgAiADoAIgBxAGMAMABoAHQATQB1AFIAUwBPAFcAMABvAG4AUABCADMAUwBQAEUAUgBBACIALAAiAG4AIgA6ACIAVwBpAHoAIgB9AA%3D%3D) ## [Deep link demo to Chapter 12](https://glidesheet.glideapp.io/dl/ewAiAHQAIgA6ADAALAAiAHMAIgA6ACIAbQBlAG4AdQAtAGQAMQBlADIAMAAzADEANAAtAGYAOABmADAALQA0ADIAZQBmAC0AOQA3AGYAMgAtAGIAZAA5ADcANgA2ADkANgBhAGMANgAyAC0AOAAwADcAMwAwADEANwAyADQAZQBkAGQAOAAyADYAZQAzADYAOAAwADMANgBjAGMANgAyAGMAYgA2ADEAMABiACIALAAiAHIAIgA6ACIAUQBVAEMARgBmADcARAA2AFIARwBtAHoAZAA2AGwALgAxAGMARQBtAFQAUQAiACwAIgBuACIAOgAiAEQAZQBlAHAAIABsAGkAbgBrACAAZABlAG0AbwAiAH0A) ---

So you have to create this share button for any tab or component you want to have its own shareable deep link? ---

You can copy this link to the clipboard, send it to Zapier, or use the Share action to let your users easily share items in your app any way they’d like. > **[Deep Links](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/reference/design-and-structure/deep-links)** > > Link to different screens in your app with URLs Also, if you are viewing in a browser, you should be able to just copy the link int the browser url bar. ---

OK got it! Thanks! The clipboard action is new to me. The url never changes for me however, as I click into different parts of the app. I’m doing it from my laptop browser. ---

It only works on rows that have RowID enabled. Do you have row IDs? ---

This is an excellent new feature, making Glide a true PWA. A couple of questions? 1. URL is too long and looks spammy. If it’s reliant on having a Row ID then why can’t the URL be just the Row ID? 2. Will it be possible at some stage to be able to customise the links? 3. Are the links discoverable and indexable by search engines? 4. If so, would be great if we could have provision for SEO, i.e. custom meta titles and descriptions. ---

> [@garrison](#): > > If it’s reliant on having a Row ID then why can’t the URL be just the Row ID? I was thinking this as well, does it have anything to do with the same row IDs for different apps or am I missing something here? > [@garrison](#): > > Will it be possible at some stage to be able to customise the links? This would be excellent for sharing. ---

There’s more to that url than you think. It’s most likely encoded to account for any special characters and the additional info along with RowID. > [@new Deep Links](https://community.glideapps.com/t/deep-links/15966/33): > > There’s a lot of info encoded in that url. I don’t know if it’s to help it render nicely on social media platforms, but definitely to help it redirect to the proper row in the app. There’s probably a lot more to it than we think as compared to just a long string of random text. Below is what it translates to. (Partially obscured) {“t”:11,“s”:“class-Made in Benin”,“r”:“f46fUQb2QLqXMUIK\*\*\*\*\*\*\*”,“n”:“Ag\*\*\*\* - Plateforme d’automatisation de business”}7 > [@new Deep Links](https://community.glideapps.com/t/deep-links/15966/57): > > @Perrin I would assume it would stay the same, but there is encoded information in the URL with what looks like row id and a couple other pieces of info, like the app name and description. I’m guessing if you change the name of your app, or description, it may change the url, but maybe the rowid encoded in there would still get you to the correct screen in the app. ---

@Jen_NYCP do you have an app link we can look at? I think you will only see the deep link in the browser whenever viewing the detail view of a row that has RowID. ---

Just a thought but eventually there could be an opportunity for Glide to offer its own link shortening service, or allow us to hook up our own custom link shortener, as part of the Pro plan. ---
