I want to share a copy of an app with a team member so they can use it as a template to build another app. How do I do this so my existing app doesn’t get compromised and without adding another app to my billing. ---

On the left side of your screen click settings, go to sharing on the right side of your screen and check the box that reads “Allow anyone with the link to copy the app & sheet”. After you have done that click the SHARE button and copy the link. send him/her the copied link. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/c/3/c392004e13d16e9c32c2cfd02a9cdb0bf255ed65.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/8/c/8c5d1d9393cc6dcba18d09e37456bde5425a77a5.png) ---

To add to @Drearystate’s suggestion, you can first duplicate your app and sheet into your own account and clean out the duplicated sheet so there is no data to be compromised. Then share the copy as he suggested. ---
