My app is for my class. Each unit is a new level/theme. I’d really like to see the ability to save a format, so I can (admin) switch between levels without having to build the entire app over again for next year. I’ve been making new apps for each level for the past few units but it’s hard to get the kids to install the new one every time.

You shouldn’t have to manually change layouts in Glide for different levels. Can you structure your data differently, or use the component visibility feature, to create layouts that change based on the level?

I’d maybe consider building a tab for each level, then just moving tabs from hidden to visible as necessary.

Row limits are an issue when I do that. I like to structure the app differently depending on the level. We’ll see what happens 🤷🏼‍♂️

Maybe a combination of hidden tabs and offloading the sheet data to a different sheet until you need it again? That way it would count against your row count.
