### It all makes sense nowā€” ā€¦components list on the left and configuration panel on the right.

Also noticed that I canā€™t add a new data column from this screen if my component panel is already open to a column. I have to back out first: @Jason EDIT: Actually, a bit more serious than I thoughtā€¦if Iā€™m already open to a column and then choose add a new column, it will convert the column I had open to that new column type rather than creating a new column. ---

Aw. Sorry. Yeah, staging breaks your apps every now and then. I had that happen to one of my apps a few months ago. Just had to delete the app and carry on. ---

Thatā€™s exactly what we need, but we didnā€™t know it exactly. We donā€™t need the whole data editor side-by-side as we already imagined, but this wayā€¦ thatā€™s what Iā€™m talking about guys!!! šŸ”„ ---

Fixed the bug with it converting column types out from under you. The Add COlumn pad now auto-closes if you pick a different column to edit. ---

Thatā€™s pretty cool. I notice that when you switch to the data editor view, and then back to layout - it always defaults back to ā€œSCREENā€. Would be nice if it remembered where you wereā€¦ ---

@Jason Another bug: Creating a component, then reordering it, deselects it and instead selects the component at the bottom of the list. Itā€™s problematic because I inadvertently start editing a different component than the one I just created. ---

Nah! I like it a lot. So often I have to switch screens to change one little thing and then I lose context / flow when I switch back. This will save SO MUCH TIME. [Next page](https://community.glideapps.com/t/in-staging-add-edit-data-within-the-layout-view/22900.md?page=2)
