Maybe we could show ā€œUnusedā€ in the column menu when itā€™s unused in your app, rather than ā€œFind all usesā€, when the column is not used. ---

> [@david](#): > > Maybe we could show ā€œUnusedā€ in the column menu when itā€™s unused in your app, rather than ā€œFind all usesā€, when the column is not used. Well, in this particular case the column itself is not directly used by any component in the app. But, the column that references this column _is_ used in the app. So if I had deleted this column, it would have ā€œbrokenā€ the app. I think my expectation of ā€œshow all usesā€ would be: - Show me any components that _directly_ reference this column - Show me any components that _indirectly_ reference this column (ie. a component that uses a column that references this column) - Show me any other columns that _directly_ reference this column - Show me any other columns that _indirectly_ reference this column - Show me any actions that _directly_ reference this column - Show me any actions that _indirectly_ reference this column Ultimately, what Iā€™m trying to determine is whether or not I can safely delete the column in question. And I donā€™t think I can be confident about that unless all the above use cases are covered? ---

Imagine having a bunch of sheets, and a lot of buttons, and your users complain that they see the ā€˜wrongā€™ things. Where is the bug? Or you have a column called Session ID. You havenā€™t used it for a month. Is it safe to delete, or will it kill logic across your app. Glide can be used for very simple apps, and for complex ones too. Itā€™s good that they cater for different use cases, and this feature is extremely useful for advanced users with complex apps šŸŒŸ ---
