I am wondering if there is any thoughts of adding a last refreshed timestamp, possibly to the footer of the app. This would reflect the last time that the app was in contact with the Google sheets.

Thanks

Go to your spreadsheet that is connected with Glide, find the “App: Metadata” sheet. It should look like this.

Make a new sheet, let’s say “Metadata”, have a formula to bring the data above to the new sheet so that Glide can see it (Glide can’t work with automatically generated sheets like Comments, Metadata, etc.)

```
='App: Metadata'!A1:B2

```

Then use the timestamp info to make a text component in your app as you wish.
