I’m using a translation tool, so please excuse any awkward English.

I created my app using the Classic App format. When I opened it today, the screen didn’t display, so I decided to migrate to the new version.

I followed this guide ([Classic Apps | Glide Docs](https://www.glideapps.com/docs/classic-apps#classic-app-migration-tool-walkthrough)) to duplicate the app, but I’m not sure how to use the same public URL as the original Classic App.

If I delete the Classic App first, can I assign its public URL to the new app so the previous link still works?

If anyone knows, I would really appreciate your help. Thank you!

You can only retain the same URL if you are using a custom domain.

For the default URL’s that Glide assign, classic Apps and new Apps use different domains, and they are not interchangeable.

It looks like we can’t retain the URL unless we’re using a custom domain.  
There were some challenges due to the language difference, but I’m really glad the issue is resolved.  
Thank you so much for your prompt response!
