I created this app several months ago to help me with choosing a health plan:
I thought I would be just able to upload the new data table and have the same layout this time, but I’m messing up somewhere because the layout changes.
I go to Screen from data (take a look at my screenshot) and when I choose different data source, the entire app layout changes (take a look at my screenshot).
Yes, so that’s what I mean.
If you put all the data in one table, then you can use a single layout and apply filters to separate by year.
If you absolutely must have the data in separate tables, then what you could do is copy/paste the components from the first layout, although this isn’t recommended. It’s almost always better to keep similar data in a single table.
But do you still need the 2024 data? Couldn’t you delete the old data since I imagine you don’t care about 2024 coverages anymore?
If you absolutely need both years for some reason, then I think it would make more sense to add a year column, apply 2024 to the existing data, then import the new data with 2025 as the year. Then just filter as needed. This would solve the duplicate rows problem.
As Darren mentioned, screen layouts are inherently tied to the underlying data. That is how Glide has worked from day one. If you change the data source, then it’s a new and separate screen layout. But if you import new data into the existing table, then you can still use the existing screen layouts tied to that data source.
If you want to change source while keeping components, what I do is right click on the components section, copy all, change the source, right click Paste.
