It sounds like your Google Sheets have been disconnected from your apps. Did they get deleted or moved? Did you lose access? ---

You may be able to export your app’s data in settings, recreate the Google Sheets, then reconnect them. Duplicating your app may also create a new Google Sheet… ---

You can export the data here under the data tab, using the “Export App Data” option. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/c/2/c2d6511ed74fc7561a2e391152253d944c53cfcf.png) Then after you make sure the exported file is uploaded to your Drive as a Google Sheet, click the 3 dots button and replace the current one to the new file. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/4/d/4d74bf844d59059e46daff7f0ce0fd9706bdda68.png) ---

That’s weird because at the point when you are able to do that inside the builder I thought you are signed in with an email already. Do you have any extensions with Chrome that may affect this (say Ghostery, Ublock etc.)? Can you try turning them off and do it again? How many rows do you have on that Sheet? ---
