Sometimes Reloading Query does not work with showing changes, however entering and exiting the app does. If our App is in Kiosk Mode(done from outside of Glide) they cannot enter and exit the app. Is there any way to refresh the actual app with a button action? Like reload the link
Is this to show changes in data, components or both?
Both
I believe if you create an action that changes the data it forces a reload of all the data. Are you finding if someone adds a row, that row doesnt appear in the app immediately? Or is it mainly you adding a new screen/component in the builder and it not reflecting in the app until you refresh the screen?
I can see new data, but I cant see new components.
If you’re talking about Reload Query, then I assume that you’re referring to Big Tables?
I think this is a bug that has emerged in the past few days - last Friday to be exact. In fact I submitted a Support Ticket related to it just about an hour ago.
The temporary workaround that I’ve put in place was to add a small Action Row button with a Reload Query action attached, and instructed my users to tap the button if the screen doesn’t update. This seems to be an effective (but somewhat clunky) workaround for now.

Yeah the new components, so for example its showing a button twice cause I messed up visibility settings. So I change it for only one to show, now usually they’d need to exit the app and open it again then it would change. However we don’t want them to be able to leave the app, so I’m wondering if there’s a way to refresh the actual page.
Regarding components, I believe the best way to ensure the production app is stable and works the way you want it to is to turn on manual publishing for the app and create realiable QA workflows so you publish the app only when the new version of it is tested thoroughly. Yes, there is a delay of up to 10 minutes before the changes will be reflected on the live app, but at least your users will always use a stable app without critical bugs or mistakes

And maybe you can push your updates through at night so users dont see a change randomly happen.
