Getting started

Starting from a template

Every template is a whole app that already runs. Cloning copies the structure, never the data.

On the template shelf every card leads to a real site you can open and walk around — with its pages, its tables and its own user sign-up. A template here is not a picture and not a starter file.

What a clone takes

  • The files and the pages
  • The table definitions: the fields and the four permission rules
  • The design and the name of the home page

What it leaves behind

  • Not one record
  • Not one registered user
  • Not one uploaded file

When you clone somebody else's app, what you get is the published version — not the draft the owner is working on right now.

Leaving the data behind is the feature, not a shortcoming. Somebody else's records landing in a stranger's hands is exactly what must never happen.
