I have found a previous thread saying that this feature (Play / Select buttons) that is in Classic apps is now in Apps but I cannot for the life of me find it .  
This is how it looks in Classic Apps

Can someone please point me in the right direction…

You need to turn on the “Select Mode” Preview features toggle in the Glide settings to enable that feature.

That’s why I’ve been asking for this feature for the past 3 years! It makes app development 100x more efficient
