I use manual publishing in all of my projects, and I never have a problem 🤷‍♂️ ---

For example, I’ve never seen this: [https://www.loom.com/share/39fa2256aea14ecea3a2d6a0133735aa](https://www.loom.com/share/39fa2256aea14ecea3a2d6a0133735aa) Perhaps Glide is updating something again, so there are glitches I just saw a glitch in the incorrect display of tables, I started recording it and everything returned to normal, but a new feature appeared 🙂 Now we can preview and edit tables which are source of screen components ---

> [@Uzo](#): > > some compound actions were empty… totally empty, nothing even to click… I never attributed it to manual publish because I only have one pro app that gets used daily. I have lots of free apps that I use frequently – and the funny thing is some of them allow publish manually, and some only allow auto-publish. The apps are in the same team, so I think it is because at some point it was supported for a free app in the new teams, and I turned it on, but now you cannot turn it on in a free team app. I only told you that so I could say that I have not ever seen missing components, but I have experienced missing elements in custom actions – I mean actions that at one time worked and then didn’t work. I have been fixing some just in the last few days. I didn’t know it was related to manual publish. Thanks for letting me know – I was using that because I have many users and don’t want them to see my half-baked, incomplete, new features. This could be a hard one to track down, but when I first reported it, of course, I was not able to tell Glide possible places to look for issues. ---

Thanks. I didn’t see it because it looks like they moved where it used to be. I should have looked harder. ---

locky you… I used it 2 times, and 2 times it went wrong… the worst part is, is not fixable… elements are somewhere doubled, and even if I delete it… it still showed but with the wrong parameters… just a nightmare… I stop using Glide for serious development… these things just keep happening every few weeks, my clients are so frustrated. I only use Glide as a UI for google web apps, it saves time developing some non-important elements. ---

Same here. It destroyed my app and users couldn’t access to my app (domain problem I guess).
