Tnx a lot, I was confused, because I have seen “Google Glide” term on several places. Now I see that Google really has something called “Glide”, but for images! Confusing for general public, now clear for me! 🙂 ---

It’s a future feature that Glide’s been working on for awhile. Most likely for everyone. > **[Glide 2021 • Glide](https://www.glideapps.com/2021)** > > Glide is taking a giant leap forward, with its own high-performance tables independent of Google Sheets, tablet & desktop layouts, and a powerful new action editor. ---

Hi Jeff, Tnx a lot, this is good direction! Also tab copy will be possible? Actually, every element of glide should have the possibility to be copied and pasted somewhere else. Evene better: to be referenced! This is equivalent to have subroutines in development through coding, where both referencing and copying exist almost one century ago! 😊 Best regards ---

Tab duplication is already possible. You can right click on the tab name on the left panel and duplicate it. ---

But you cannot copy a TAB into another APP. You can share a Glide table between APPs, so you should be able to copy a complete TAB into another APP. ---

Yes, the copy feature was never intended to give you the ability to copy across apps, as far as I aware. I believe there are a lot of things underhood that tie to a specific app and that would break when you try to copy them to another app, even when you have the same data structure.
