I created a model using only the glide tab, published it, copied the link for private sharing, sent it to my friend, he can see the preview of the app, but when he clicks to copy it on the glide it keeps loading infinitely and he can’t access it. Is there a problem with the system or am I doing something wrong?

This is a known issue.

I plan on using this template for customers so would like to prevent my customers from having the same issue. Many thanks!

Thanks for the clarification!

I tried the workaround of sharing the normal link and allowing users to copy, but apparently with this new glide update there is no such option anymore.

Yes, that’s correct.

Your only option at the moment would be to ask your friend to add you to his team. You could then make a copy of the App in your own team, and transfer that copy to his team.

It seems together with this thread and my original one posted above, we now have four related threads to this issue:

> [@Buying Templates](https://community.glideapps.com/t/buying-templates/60522):
>
> Hi guys, Can’t seem to buy templates at present - is there an issue currrently? Select buy - choose the team - click on the ‘pay’ button - and … nothing! Any ideas? Russ

> [@Error on Copying Templates in Glide](https://community.glideapps.com/t/error-on-copying-templates-in-glide/60538):
>
> I have a template of a person I know, and he published a template. However, when I click on Copy in Glide, it never finishes loading and after like a couple of minutes, the loading animation will just disappear and nothing will happen.

I was told that the engineers are working on it and a resolution should come soon, however the issue is more complex than it seemed at first glance.

@NoCodeAndy any chance someone at Glide can give an update on this?  
I can imagine you guys have been very busy with all the other great updates from the past week.

Best regards!

Tim

I don’t think this issue has been solved.
