# 👋 Hey fellow Gliders!

Glide gives us several types of “Show Screen” actions that allow our users to access, edit, and navigate between various data records, but how do they each function?

In the video below, I provide an in-depth explanation of Details Screens, “New Screens”, and Edit Screens, how they relate to one another, and **how to create CUSTOM edit screens** (think “Show New Edit Screen”) since this type of screen doesn’t yet exist in Glide (if you want this feature, vote below).

### 🍿 Enjoy!

> Hello Would it be possible to add an option: of different editing screens (and that the same editing screen does not appear) I mean as in references to: a new screen, or a form screen It will be possible to custom design several different types of editing screens - for the same line In my opinion, this is a very powerful and useful idea for GLIDE PAGES Provides great flexibility and ease of updating statuses by user or situation Many will be happy if you add it

Yeah, I use it ALL the time now. Best part is that it doesn’t consume updates if you use Glide tables.

Here’s another example showing how I’m using custom edit screens to provide 3 unique interfaces all tied to the same data record:

@Robert_Petitto  
The technique you show in the video is amazing. It’s so far over my head I’m not too sure what to think 😅

Simply amazing.
