Folder permissions and more
New in Glide: Folder Permissions (and much more). Folder permissions are a way for admins of a Glide team to restrict who can access apps. Admins can add members of a team to a folder as viewers or editors. As viewers, members can only open an app but not make any changes. As editors, members can both view and make changes to Glide apps. These new Folder Permissions give Glide admins an added layer of control over who can access and edit apps.
It's been a while since our last Changelog update, and there have been many fixes and improvements added to Glide in that time. You can review all the changes since November below.
- New AI Integrations: Users can now access the latest AI models from OpenAI, Google Gemini, and Anthropic Claude in Glide apps.
- AI Model Integration: Glide now supports over 300 AI models through the OpenRouter plugin, including new models from Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, Meta, and more.
- Snowflake Support: Glide now supports connecting to Snowflake data warehouses, allowing users to build apps powered by Snowflake data.
- Single Sign-On: Users can now log in to multiple Glide apps on different domains using a single login.
- Array Results in If-Then-Else: Glide now allows you to use arrays as the result for If-Then-Else columns, giving you more flexibility in how you display data in your apps.
- Only Admin Invites: Only organization admins can now invite new members to the organization.
- Faster String Sorting: The `compareStrings` function has been optimized to sort strings about 30% faster, improving the performance of features like Query columns.
- Array Owners: Users can now set array columns as row owners in Glide Tables and Big Tables, providing more flexibility in managing data ownership.
- Fix Creating App in Folder: Users can now create new apps within folders when Folder Permissions are enabled, without encountering errors or having the app created outside the folder.
- Increment Updates Counter: The increment action in Glide Workflows now displays an "Each run uses 1 update" counter, providing users visibility into how their automation usage is billed.
- Quota Fix: Glide now uses the app's quota limit instead of the Google Sheet owner's quota when importing sheets to native tables, addressing import failures due to quota restrictions.
- Horizontal Card Collection Fix: Horizontal card collections now maintain consistent width regardless of the number of cards displayed. Also adjusted the padding around them to improve their alignment and appearance.
- Larger PDF Generation: DocsAutomator integration now supports generating larger PDF documents.
- OpenAI Integration Parity: Users can now access the full suite of OpenAI features, including image generation, chat completion, audio transcription, and more in Glide.
Additionally, many small bugs have been identified and fixed over the last couple of months. Resulting in a much faster, much smoother Glide experience.
