I wanted to change my email, but couldn’t find any place in settings. Am I supposed to change it through the “users” form within my app? If so, is there a chance I lose access to the dashboard? Thanks.

When you say “admin account”, do you mean the admin account of your Glide team? Or is it related to one app only?

To be honest, I don’t know. I’m the only one using and editing the only app I have in my dashboard. Just curious how to change the email without losing access to editing that app.

- Create a new Glide account with the email you want to “switch” to.
- Invite that email to the folder where you have your current app.
- Now you have access to that app on both accounts.

So it’s allowed to have 2 glide accounts? Or do I have to delete the first one somehow after doing this?

Two emails…two accounts. Nothing really stopping you from doing it. If you want to delete the first one after migrating everything to the second one, that’s up to you. If you don’t want to, that’s fine too.
