EDIT: Mark’s post here provides great knowledge: [Multiple apps - one sheet? - #2 by Mark\_Turrell](https://community.glideapps.com/t/multiple-apps-one-sheet/27195/2)

Danke again Mark. This part just clicked for me (almost):

“functionality can be quietly developed”

But you’re saying that the private pro app that your contractors have access to do have impact on the user side functionality then? Not just the data that they share?

EDIT: Just watched the videos of your fantastic app so I sort of understand why you would keep it separate. I initially had AirBnB in my mind as a reference point when your app is doing something different.

I could’ve sworn you had another thread on here regarding sharing GT tables but I can’t find it. So other than user profiles, you are keeping separate glide tables for each app and updating them both vs having one master glide table to have all 3 apps share?

Thanks in advance!
