What does User Profile=Profile:User do? I don’t know. ---

Can you elaborate? Where are you seeing that? Looks like a heading to set a reference. ---

I’m guessing this is in the Finstagram template, which needs to be updated to use new relations! @Xann that is our old reference syntax, ignore it! ---

What does that mean? Also, are you saying that the Finstagram template is outdated? ---

References/relations are used to link data from two different sheets together. The Glide Library had excellent explanations. [https://docs.glideapps.com/all/](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/) ---

Yes, but as @david said, that is the old method (which still works if you choose to use it). The new method involves adding a new reference column in the data tab within the app builder and is much simpler to understand. ---

I watched the relations video and yes, it did seem very simple. But what do `User Profile=Profile:User` & `Photos=Posts:User:Multiple` do together? (They are from the FInstagram template.) ---

How do I make a friend list from the FInstagram template customized for every user? (How do I make an add friend ability and the ability to see mostly what friends post.) ---

Match records between sheets where the value in column HeaderName is equal to the value in the ColumnReferringTo column in the SheetReferingTo sheet. If I expect multiple matches, then I add ‘Multiple’. ---

I think taking time to get a better grasp of relations, per user data, and all of the other components will answer that question for you.
