Hey , is there a way that I can update multiple duplicate apps after updating the original? Bascially I will have the same app available for multiple clients but I don’t want to have to update each individual app every time I roll out a new feature.
Cheers
No, not at this time.
That’s a bummer! Are there any plans to add this do we know? Would really make sense to have an “publish updates to app x , app y” etc. It would really open up the platform for larger user bases
The feature would mostly make sense for Glide agencies and freelancers who build Glide apps for a living. Glide knows of course, but I’m not sure developing such a feature would make business sense to Glide the company.
Either way, feel free to go vote for this feature 
I know it’s been mentioned to them several times, so they are aware of the need, but I don’t know if they have it on their roadmap. I’d imagine that it would be quite a large undertaking to implement something like that. I think the only way it would work is if you can absolutely guarantee that the database structure can remain identical between each separate data source, with the only difference being the data itself. Also, you’d probably need a primary app which is the only one that it editable, and secondary apps would not be editable, so no individual app customization unless it’s data driven design.
What makes more sense to me is one single app (code base) with the ability to dynamically swap out data sources based on the customer. That’s how we do it where I work. All of our code is developed once, and then based on the customer, we link different databases to that code. When a customer signs in, they get their own data, logos, colors etc, but it’s all one code base.
We have had some recent indications that Glide are at least starting to “think” about these sorts of things. That doesn’t mean it will happen, and I certainly wouldn’t expect to see these sorts of features any time soon. But at least it appears to be on the radar somewhere.
