Hi! I had a question about editing, is there a way to make edits or changes to your app to see how it works and looks, before you re-publish it for users to see? I also noticed sometimes when I create new columns in my sheet, they get added to the bottom of my components for a certain tab. When do…

No. You can create a copy of the app using the same sheet and do you changes and then if all good make the same changes in the main app if its used UI. If changes are in sheet then copy app with sheet. No other go as far as i know.

Newbie here. Can I edit an already published app? If not, when? If not, what’s the workaround? Thank you. (I see amazing potential for your platform. Congrats!) Dan

Yes, you can edit it. Is it a big edit or smaller edits? For me, I try to do my changes when most of my users are probably asleep, as not to disturb the user experience.

Thank you, but … I could only figure out how to duplicate and then edit the duplicate. Hmmmmmmm….

Yes, that’s a good way to do it. I have a duplicate as well where I test out the changes first, then apply them to the live app during those off times.

Ah! Thanks a great workaround. Much thanks! Dan

Can you explain why you cannot edit your app? All you do to edit an app, is open it in Glide, and make any change… Just like editing a spreadsheet.

David, Yes. It’s working. Not sure why I did not see the edit menus earlier today. Dan

One of the ways I deploy new changes is by creating a new tab (and make it visible only for me) and working on any updates on that tab. Once I am satisfied with the new tab I created, I simply change the visibility of that tab and replace an existing tab with the new one.

I do it also for complements in specific screens, by now it works

Hi David, First, thanks for all the great work on Glide. I was wondering if you have an update on when the feature you mentioned will be ready–that will allow making changes to a published app, but only pushing these changes to the live app when you choose. I can already see how cumbersome and err…
