Welcome to Thunkable

There are two different UI(s) that you can work with

- The old UI or Legacy and also called Snap to Place UI which you will see the `Realtime DB`
- The new UI or Drag and Drop which you will not see any component for Firebase because it uses `Cloud variables`

Can you clarify which one you are using?

Then Use cloud variabeles.  
That’s the new way of using firebase.

So you are not supposed to see any Firebase components anyway with the exception of the `Sign In` block in the `Blocks Screen`

Accessing data in the Firebase database is through the use of `cloud variables`

For Example:

Which will retrieve whatever data stored under the `database node` “clients/currentJob”
