There’s a [similar forum thread from 2022](https://community.glideapps.com/t/how-can-i-remove-the-edit-screen-and-edit-button-from-my-mobile-app/46410) that doesn’t meet my needs, so I’m starting a new thread.

I’m keeping this brief so my frustration doesn’t show. 😅

It’s easier to just watch this brief 90-second video where I walk through the setup of the app and the front-end edit button I’m trying to remove.

Too long, didn’t watch?

You need to remove the action from the component. I assume it’s a Title component.

I figured out how to do it after a lot of clicking around. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
