This may be a dumb question - but how do you add a “home” link in the side nav? If a user gets “too deep”, I want a quick way to go back to the home tab instead of hitting back. My home page is a “details view” and would rather not have to recreate it. ![Screen Shot 2021-06-18 at 5.10.47 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/d/7/d7522bf2729d77befc086c5dc20f158ac59aaed2.png) ![Screen Shot 2021-06-18 at 5.18.42 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/f/c/fc041ebe4b64b95045ac9f11258410c4ea058f5f.png) ---

I can’t think of a great way to do this at the moment. It would be great if we could assign an action to tabs themselves, eg: click a Home tab in the menu and the action is navigate to the lone Home tab outside of the menu. I guess you could always place a floating action Home button on every details screen of that Home Screen’s sub pages with a custom action of 10 `Go back` actions? Overkill and it might not fit with your UI, but it would work. ---

Thanks @Robert_Petitto - I agree, it would be nice to have an action associated with a tab instead of it assuming that you want to open another view. I will probably just duplicate the details view Is there anyway to duplicate components across screens? ---

There isn’t…we’ve asked for that, too. > [@Duplicate a Component to Another Tab/Screen](https://community.glideapps.com/t/duplicate-a-component-to-another-tab-screen/4188): > > I’m building forms and have many choice components that are very similar. Currently, I have to create each choice component from scratch. It would be very useful if I could create a component, configure it, then create multiple copies of it, and simply edit those copies. I’ve seen other requests for this, but not lately. Would this be helpful to others? ---

Overkill and it might not fit with your UI, but it would work. I’ve done exactly this in one of my apps and it works perfectly
