šŸ•µļøā€ā™‚ļø Thatā€™s the topic for all of you spies, sniffer dogs, that are always attentive to everything that the glide launches to test on **[our Glideā€™s insiders instance, called Staging](https://staging.heyglide.com)** > ### The Insiders instance is only for testing. Donā€™t build production apps there. Glide might break or even delete them. Hereā€™s what I found today Thatā€™s also awesome! ### in Staging - Create an app directly from a Glide Table! šŸ¤© ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/8/e/8e52e2f16a7dc01dd3a4b61ba2a883ea074eee06.png) Also, Now we can know how many images & files weā€™re uploading directly in the app ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/5/d/5dd3fbc95f795420a35779428d91a6f74c7032fb.png) ---

This addition is absolutely awesome. Would love an option to duplicate a Google Sheets tab as a Glide Table. It would help me update all the templates I have published and improve performance. ---

Ohā€¦I get it. Like a fancy template column. Wondering what the advantages are here over a template column? The fact that itā€™s automatically formatted as a link? ![Screen Shot 2021-01-27 at 2.51.04 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/0/a/0a21c0dc62170a8097900d7ed3a5d6d6c8f93ff7.png) ---

yeah, you can build links with the Template columnā€¦but like Robert said, I think the difference is in the ability to change the URL Protocol, Path, and formatting (HTTP/HTTPS). I could be wrongā€¦always a possibility haha ---

Sometimes, when crafting URLs, parameters need to be URL encoded eg. Not this: `https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=RDmfE0noOJ8` But this: `https%3A%2F%2Fm.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Ffeature%3Dplayer_embedded%26v%3DRDmfE0noOJ8` ---
