Hello all, I have a component that is on different screens. For the moment I am duplicating the component (image) but I wonder if I can call a component design in a screen into another screen. or if I need to duplicate it in the second screen ? for 2 screens it is not a big deal but if I need to do it for 5 or 10 screens it is another story.

You need to do it manually unless you want to duplicate the entire screen. Any time I’m considering creating the same setup on more than a couple screens, I wonder if it’s possible to do the same thing on a single screen. Why do you need so many screens with the same image? ---

in fact one of my customer want to have its logo on the top of the app and I cannot make the app on a single screen ☹ he also want a back button, a profile and a log out. For the logout and the profile I manage to do it in a menu but not for the logo. Another solution would be a background image that is the same for all screens… I am exploring different solution but I wonder what is the best practice in that case. alex ---

You could create the basic screen with background image and a button or two and then duplicate the screen or you could just add the logo manually to each screen. ---

But it’s not possible to ‘duplicate’ screens. You need to save it as a screen, which according to me is a big time-taker. ---

In what way? It probably takes me 30 seconds to save a screen and then add a new screen from the saved one. ---

It’s not just the time. This has been discussed before but I find it really confusing to have about invisible components duplicated as well. Once, I needed to duplicate a screen 5 times and ended up with a bunch of invisible components I didn’t want. ---

I wish there was a way to actually duplicate screens, without having to save them. ---

I think that it’s also depending on the use case. So no universal solution 😉 Thanks for your help ---
