Hey people 👋
Do **cell updates** count as edits / row updates?
I’ve got a tab where you can click through a story and each paragraph is a new page (similar to an Instagram story). In my Glide table, I have a counter cell. Each click increases / decreases the value in this cell (this is used to select the specific text).
Would this increase/decrease then count as an update?
Thanks a lot!

Yes.
Basically anything that changes a value will count as an update.

Hey! Thanks a lot @Darren\_Murphy° I’ve already read through that, but was still not sure… 😅
I’ve got a followup question:
What’s about the swiping cards feature. As I know, the swipe feature requires a timestamp that is changed by each swipe. Is this also counted as an update then?
Thank you

I believe that for the moment it does, but that might change…

> New counting - the death of swipe? Swipe requires ‘swipe field’ just to… swipe, yeah, which is modified just every time you swipe even without any useful action. And now it counts and counts up update counter and down our money. Is there any hope to exclude updating a swipe field out of counts?

Alright. I definitely hope that this will change since I feel you may use swiping the same way like scrolling which should not at all count as an update 🙂
Thanks for you help Darren\_Murphy 🙂
Best, Ninjaa

Computed columns do not consume any updates.
