Drag and drop is great and helpful. butā€¦ The moment you drag and drop a hidden tab - it becomes visible. Would it be possible to keep the default order for all tab-items as TABs, MENU followed by hidden tabs. Its just makes it easier. ---

This sounds promising. It would be very helpful if you could also make the PLAY mode and SELECT mode selectable with kybd commands. This will save a lot of mousing/clicking - and may complement your efforts to make SELECT mode more powerful. ---

The idea of having the content (or artboard) flanked either side by panels is a familiar design pattern, think Figma, Sketch and to some extent Adobe etc. I use all three products in various ways and the idea works a treat, mainly because I rarely interact with the left panel as in most cases it is the right panel where all my action and work is focussed. I havenā€™t got stuck in to the new Glide builder yet but from seeing the screen posted it seems both tabs will require equal focus which will make the process potentially frustrating. Also, having the panels side by side on the right, as proposed, is not a viable solution in my opinion as it just looks more messy and confusing, and will throw up some usability challenges. Iā€™ve just had a quick play with the new builder and I have to say I love it! Sure, nothing is perfect but I feel the trade off overall is more than worth it. If the distance travelled between the left and right panels is a big issue for people then do what I do: just resize your browser screen! Itā€™s a simple solution, but stupidly effective. ---

> [@garrison](#): > > Itā€™s a simple solution, but stupidly effective. I really appreciated your pragmatism. I struggle with a chronic case of Quixotism, so any time time I can remind myself to just let go a little and roll with can be therapeutic. So I resized a separate browser window and even accepted that I will no longer be able to jump between tabs as easily. Oh, and I need to make very different use of my 2 screen set-up. But, okay. Roll with it. Then I opened the data editor and all hope was lost. I still appreciate your pragmatism, but sorryā€¦ this one isnā€™t gonna work for me. šŸ™…ā€ā™‚ļø ---

That should still work (it does for me). I know this might be obvious, butā€¦ is the column you are clicking in an Image column? ---

Hi @Darren_Murphy thanks for your response. Yes, itā€™s an image column. It doesnā€™t work for me anymore ---

No, I meean the icons on the tabs list. in many cases I donā€™t use nay title and in the old editor you could see the icon on the list and I used to it to find the right tabs but now I just see empty row when deleting the title. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/e/5/e53687c9be4acdcc61284b72777ad659cf67078a.jpeg) ---

Ha, yup. I just noticed after testing removing the title. I have an app like that, but havenā€™t worked on it with the new build. Probably just as well. ---

Thanks to the Glide team. If I use Glide table to create App, does this mean that my APP can be execute in China? Thanks. ---

Looks like the China question has been asked a few times, but there doesnā€™t appear to have been a definitive answer. Iā€™ve done business in China, and have had to navigate the ā€œ[great firewall](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Firewall)ā€ in the past. Whilst I canā€™t give a definitive answer, I can make some educated guesses based on experience. - China blocks most (if not all) Google services. This means that Gmail authentication almost certainly _wonā€™t_ work. - China also blocks many other non-China domains. Itā€™s important to note that (AFAIK) there is no direct communication between Glide app clients and Google Sheets. The data flow with Glide looks like: - End User (client) \<----\> Glide Servers \<-----\> Google Sheets So in theory, as long as the Glide servers are not blocked/filtered in China, then Glide apps _should_ work. This should be the same whether you are using Google Sheets or Glide Tables. The best way to find out is to try it. @Hsu_Mark are you in China? If you are, have you tried it? What was the result? Edit: I should make it clear that the above speculation refers to _using_ Glide apps in China. If you want to _build_ Glide apps in China, thatā€™s a different story. Given that the only way to log into the builder is via a Google account, then I would expect that itā€™s not possible to _build_ Glide Apps in China (unless you want to start messing with VPNā€™s - which would be risky). Some past posts on this topic: > [@I want to be able to see it in China](https://community.glideapps.com/t/i-want-to-be-able-to-see-it-in-china/5016): > > Hello. I have also created some apps using this wonderful APP. I have an idea to distribute an app for China, but Glide is not a Chinese server at the moment, so it will not work. China is a huge market for APP. I have a China server, do you have any good ideas for distribution to China? Sorry for the dirty English. Thank you.

@Darren_Murphy Thank you for your reply. Iā€™m in Taiwan, but I will ask my colleagues in China to try. - End User (client) \<----\> Glide Servers \<-----\> Glide Table Hope China did not block Glide Servers. I was testing before, the following process cannot be used in China. - End User (client) \<----\> Glide Servers \<-----\> Google Sheets Thanks [Previous page](https://community.glideapps.com/t/please-try-the-new-glide-builder/22628.md?page=9) [Next page](https://community.glideapps.com/t/please-try-the-new-glide-builder/22628.md?page=11)
