I am creating an app and this is my first time and I am using Thunkable and everything is working fine except for the fact that the data that is already there is getting replaced by new data

Don’t mind the blocks that aren’t added to anything.

You have to give cloud variables a _unique_ path. Right now, for example, one cloud variable you are using is “Email” so it’s going to replace the value at /Email every time. Usually, you would structure your Firebase realtime database so that you have something like users/[user id]/Email.

So I was trying to do what you said and one of the blocks that I saw on a post that I need is missing and I don’t know what I would do.

That block is for a Map component. See this: [Map Component | Thunkable Docs](https://docs.thunkable.com/app-design/ui-components/embed-components/map#add-marker)

What does that have to do with Firebase paths? The screenshot does reference a Firebase list but the list had to be set up correctly first. I’m not sure that screenshot is going to be helpful for you.
