For background, when I set up my app I failed to use a Google sheet with several tabs so I ended up with the main green sheet and a bunch of black ones in the nav bar. I guess they are Glide sheets now.

Changing out the Google sheet is something I can do, but wonder how to replace the existing data in the others without wrecking all the Relation and Row Owner columns I have set up.

I don’t want to try to import something and have it mess things up if there are no options to keep those related columns and start with fresh new data. Any suggestions?

Glide Tables.

All you need to do is delete the existing data, and import new data. All computed columns will remain intact.

In order to import new data into an existing table in the data editor:

1. Right-click on the table name in the left side panel and select “Import” in the drop down menu.
2. Or, below the table itself, bottom left, you’ll see an “Import” link.

Thank you both so much. That was far easier than I imagined.

What stumped me was the false notion that deleting the data would also delete the headers along with relationships and such.
