True…but at the same time, it’s optional. Novices don’t have to use it. ---

Glide would do well to create an interactive tutorial/walkthrough of their interface, no? ---

Even for novice, I feel people will get it better, and understanding how Glide works - with this new layout - it will be easier. I have some students and they say they liked it a lot this new layout. Maybe this can seem “complex” to novice, but for we who are using it since the beginning, we saw every change. For they will be the “only” Glide they know ---

True, and of course it’s a great tool that gets better every week. ---

> [@Robert\_Petitto](#): > > 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. Agreed. I really like the idea of being able to see the underlying data as you’re working on components. This will really minimise the switching backwards and forwards between table view and layout view. ---
