As Jeff said, there seems to be a misunderstanding regarding how swiping works right from the moment it is released. It is not intended to be a layout where you goes through a list linearly (back and forward). It is intended to show one card at a time on the screen and apply two actions tied to the left swipe and right swipe actions. > [@Swipe layout is now in Production!](https://community.glideapps.com/t/swipe-layout-is-now-in-production/21474/85): > > That is a totally different interface from a card stack. I am not arguing that interfaces that horizontally swipe back and forth between a series of items do not exist, or are unfamiliar to children, or should not exist in Glide. I am explaining that the Swipe interface is a different metaphor, and does not work that way. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.glideapps.com/t/if-you-swipe-right-you-cannot-go-backwards/31342)._
