I’m using Glide to display a simple table in my app’s Details screen. It’s not a form or custom code—just a basic read-only view—but there’s still an “Edit” button showing. How can I completely remove that Edit button so the screen is fully read-only and they cannot go in and edit anything?

I turned off the allow users to edit - but they can still click on the individual parts of the form and edit from there? I added a couple screenshots where I’m having the same issue.

Any help is much appreciated!

Select the Title component and any other components that have an edit button and remove the Edit action.

Thanks for your reply!

So odd - I don’t have that button?

You are looking on the wrong screen, at the wrong component.  
Click on one of the items in the collection. That will take you to a details screen, where you will find the Title component with the default edit action.
