I have created a small app which is being used by a few people. I am also trying to add more features to the app, but any new tab I create is automatically being updated in the final production app. How do I hide the new tabs from my end users but continue developing?

In the Glide app builder just drag those tabs down to the “Hidden Tabs” section.

I tried that, but I’m not able to get to the Components page or even Properties page of a hidden tab. Not sure what I’m doing wrong.

I don’t think you can edit the components when the tab is hidden. You could move the tab to the menu, then it’s as little less obvious to the user and you can still work on it. Name the tab “Don’t you dare touch this!”.

Yeah it didn’t occur to me that you wanted to work on those pages.
