How are you trying to get the links displayed. Between texts or alone? If it’s alone you’ll have to use the links component in the layout tab To save the links create a single column call it links and write the URL there Then point the link component to the links column ---

When I enter the link and then close the app under the column (example “Postpartum hemorrhage”), it doesn’t save on closing the app ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/5/4/544fa850ae84a16d00d8cc2c3693f1be2d644709.png) ---

Ohh that, I’ve had issues with it - but mostly when I’m editing from the backend. First does the row show on the front end? (After launching the app) Also log out of the app - go to the main dashboard, refresh the page and reopen the app from there. ---

What do you mean by front end? ---

Front end is how the app is presented to the users (that is when you launch the app what the users use is the frontend, the back ends is where you make changes that affect the whole app e.g the data section) ---

When you enter the link, are you pressing the Enter key or clicking out of the box when you are done. Try both. If it still doesn’t work, just switch the column type to text. ---

I tried doing either of them and didn’t work. If I change the column type to text, what do I do next? ---

Of note, it seems like it works when I look at the preview but when I close the app and return to it, the changes don’t seem to save. ---

I’m also not able to sync with the Google sheet but I also have not been updating the links via the Google sheet and have been doing it strictly via the Data area. ---

> [@Cynthia\_Abraham](#): > > also not able to sync with the Google sheet Oh, so you can actually enter data, but it doesn’t stick after a refresh. The inability to sync is the real issue. Has anything changed recently with your Google account? Has the password changed?
