I’m making some progress after being very confused about this subject and wanted to share what I’ve learned, plus ask for others to chime in.
Here’s what I think I know
-
There are 2 ways to link an existing Glide Table - manually with the Table + button and Sync, or by duplicating a project and picking “Keep same sheet” (a change to the word “sheet” and the green icon could help make it more clear what’s happening with the Glide Tables)
-
Once a Glide Table is linked to 2 or more projects, it can have different names in each project but is still the same table. The name that appears in the “Link a Glide Table” list popup will be whatever is the most recent rename. The somewhat tricky process for renaming a Glide Table has been covered previously.
-
Other things about the “Link a Glide Table” list: Hovering over the number shows the projects using that table (this was key for me to finding my way out of the wilderness). The only way to delete a Glide Table, even if it’s not used in any project, is to add it to a project and then delete it. I don’t know how to change my account settings so the last modified time is in my timezone.
I would love to see a way to manage all Glide Tables at the Team level, including deleting and renaming. I think it would be less confusing if linked tables had the same name everywhere.
Let me know if you have come up with any best practices for managing Glide Tables!
