I created a Google Sheet as my data source in my project, it works well in the projec, but when I generate a share link and open the project from the link, the Google Sheet truned into a normal table, I don’t know why is this happening and I can’t solve this problem, can anyone give me some advice? Thank you.

Welcome to Thunkable.

What you are seeing is a normal process. When you share a link, as part of the security and privacy, Thunkable will not share your API keys nor your database connections and will convert all connections (Airtable, Google Sheet) to Local tables with sample data.

If you are a PRO member then you can choose to share the keys and it will retain the Google sheet connection.
