Built with

GlideOS is built for creating apps your team can use together. By default, the projects and apps you create are visible to your team members, so teammates can discover them from the dashboard, find them in Projects, and open the live app when it is ready to use.

Publishing controls what people see at the live app URL. When you publish, your latest version becomes the version your team opens from that URL.

You can also choose to make an app public if you want to share it with people outside your team.

Preview vs. live app

While you are building, you will see a preview of your app. Preview is for checking changes as you work.

The live app is the version other people open from the shared app URL.

Publish your app

When your app is ready, click Publish.

Publishing updates the live app URL so people opening that URL see the published version of the app.

Your live app URL stays the same. When you publish new changes, the same URL shows the updated app.

Share with your team

By default, apps and projects you create are visible to your team members.

Team members can find apps from their dashboard. They can also find projects by searching in Projects.

To share a specific app with someone on your team:

  1. Open the project.
  2. Open the app.
  3. Click View live app.
  4. Copy the live app URL.
  5. Send the URL to your teammate.

Share the project or the app

Share the project with teammates who need to help build, review, or manage the app and its data.

Share the live app URL with people who only need to use the app.

Public sharing

Public sharing is optional and off by default.

If you make an app public, anyone with the link can open it.

Important: data shown in a public app is accessible to anyone with the link. Only make an app public when the app and its data are safe to share outside your team.
