Just finished yesterday a three hours work for Help section in two long pages. I wrote them directly on the app… and l noticed now it disappeared. Anything to do to recover my work? ---

Did you accidentally delete the linked table? Is it in Google Sheets or Glide Tables? ---

No, it was outside table and sheet, the texts were inside Hint components. ---

I mean that hint text seems to come from Glide? Which table did you connect to this screen before? ---

None. That was a help tab in the drawer not connected to a Glide table (l only use Glide tables). ---

What action did you make to navigate to this screen. I see a “back” action on the top left? ---

I created two pages. Each page contained several hint texts in different colors. To navigate to the next page l create a button with an arrow at the bottom. ---

So is it “Show new screen”, “Show details screen” or someone else, in the action that navigates you to the screen above? ---

I am not sure 100% because l am not on my computer but it should be new screen. ---

Then please check which Sheet/Glide Tables is the action linked to, and if that Sheet/GT is still presented in your data view. If not, try restoring it. ---

Sorry but that datas was directly written in the Hints components it was not linked to any table. ---

Wait .wait… l remember now l had an empty table for the help l deleted it one hour before thinking that since l wrote directly in the components l don’t need it anymore. Could it be that? ---
