Hello all. New to the tool and struggling with something pretty basic. I’ve added a data source (Airtable) but am unable to drag it to the invisible components list so the app will pull from the table. What (simple trick) am I missing to get this to work? Thanks.

Are you using the newer Drag and Drop (DnD) interface? You should be able to find what you need in the Data Sources drawer on the left sidebar of the Blocks tab.

If that’s not what you’re asking about, can you provide more details? I’m not understanding what you mean by this:

> unable to drag it to the invisible components list

That sounds like it might be something from the older Snap to Place (StP) interface.
