We built an all-in-purpose app for customers and suppliers, then split them keeping the same data so that it all updates fine and have had no issues. I am aware that deleting columns and adding columns in one app will have the same affect in the other(as long as it’s not computed), so I was under the assumption that the same would be true for adding of tables. However, when adding a BigTable into one app it does not add it to the other so there is no way to sync data. Is this intended? ---

Tables are independent of apps. You can add or remove tables in and out of apps, but those tables still exist independently and can exist without even being attached to any apps at all. Your two apps are independent of each other and don’t know that you want a new table in one app to exist in the other. You just need to add the existing table to the second app if that’s what you want. Data stays in sync within a shared table between two apps. App configuration does not. ---

Thank you, that makes sense but how do I add the existing table to the second app? ---

When you add a table and select Linked Glide Tables, does the Big Table show up in the list? I don’t use Big Tables, so I don’t know. ---
