I want to add a line of text to give instructions on how to use the app, perhaps underneath there header. How would I go about adding this line of text?

That’s a list layout view - you can’t add extra components to that.  
To do what you want, you should switch to a [Details Layout](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/reference/design-and-structure/details)

Sounds like you should add a text component to the top of the screen in a details layout instead of trying to put something up in the titles part.

Thank you. Is there no way for me to put it in the header? I kind of don’t want it on my page with my list section underneath it. @Darren_Murphy

Not without hacking it using CSS, but I wouldn’t recommend that, especially if you are new to Glide.

Have you considered using a different theme - one that uses less space for the tab header section?
