Hi, l follows an old video on glide on “filtering inline list with favorites”. l discovered most of the settings are quite different from mine… l can’t find “Inline list” but there are list and the likes… l can’t overlay favorites feature or button on the image… lt’s quite frustrating trying to doing… l really hope someone help me out… Here’s the supposed image l want to imply
Bob recorded this video a while ago and Glide has changed a lot since then.
(The details aren’t important, but your screenshot show Glide Classic Apps whereas you are probably using the newest version called Glide Apps, which is recommended.)
In the newest version, Glide Apps, the Favorites feature with the heart overlay does not exist anymore. You can partially build it yourself.
In the Data Editor: Create a user-specific boolean column which you can call “Favorites”. This will house a true or false value, which will be specific to each user. Create an if-then-else column that displays a red heart if true and an empty heart if false.
In the Layout Editor: You won’t be able to display the hearts as image overlays. Instead, use a switch component or an action-friendly component to write true or false to the table. Use a content component to display the full or empty heart.
I didn’t go into much detail, but I hope you got the gist.

@nathanaelb How do you go about displaying the favourited items? Is there any way we can replicate the favourites tab?
You would need to have a choice component to write the “All”/“Favorites” value to a column of your choice, then show/hide collections based on that value.

Thanks @ThinhDinh but I was referring to the layout component, I can’t find a component that looks like the ‘tab’. Closest I’ve been able to replicate is 2 side-by-side buttons but I don’t like the space in between, are there any workarounds?
If you are hard set on that exact look, I think your best bet is the Custom AI component.
Explain to it what you want,or give it an image of the buttons from your above screenshot along with a description.
