Hi Glide Team,

I see that some of the elements of the desktop view have changed.

Is there an option to disable desktop view?

The landing page now shows “Show Fullscreen” by default and I see that there is no way to disable it.

What does the “Desktop - Show Sidebar” mean ?

No, you cannot disable it.

Very late to this discussion – can I ask why this option cannot be disabled? It’s confusing the majority of my users, degrading the experience in-app (shot below), and not helping me push people to mobile. I would appreciate the ability to not include the ‘show fullscreen’ button. ‘Pro’ shouldn’t make this a default.
