I currently am creating a band application that will allow the band director to upload music and drills to the app. I currently have been able to create two logins one for basic users and the admin or (band director) but at this point the band director would have to change the code to make the application work or change content. I want it where when they login in they then have the ability to do a search and upload what they want to the app and then the other users can see it. I really would like to use Firebase to do this. I currently am a beginner coder so I am learning as I go. Thank you all in advance!

See my response as follows:

> Welcome to Thunkable. You need to store all the information that you want to control in a kind of table such as Firebase or Google sheet or Airtable. Build screen(s) for the teachers (admins) to change the values of these tables. When your app starts, it should use a kind of welcome screen or splash screen to use the time to read the values from the database and update the screens as necessary.

> Use the same suggestion I posted earlier but note one thing. Firebase has multitude of services but Thunkable directly accessing two services only Sign In Realtime DB Firebase has storage which you can upload files and images but you will have to do it with your own (Thunkable does not provide access to Firebase storage). So you will need to upload the images to Cloudinary and save the URL to the image in the Realtime DB.
