Duplicate an existing app or version control on retool - retool

I have an app on retool and I want to try out some different layouts. Is there a way to duplicate an app or have version control that you can revert to?

You can duplicate an app by going to the "Create New App" screen, and then instead of selecting "Blank App" you can choose "Duplicate". That'll allow you to choose an existing app to copy from.
Revision History is possible by hitting the "..." button in the top right, and then selecting "View history".

Not sure if Retool updated their UI, but I wasn't able to do this with the accepted answer.
I needed to hover over the name of the app in the list view (before you actually edit the app) and click the ... button on the right. Then, I selected duplicate from that dropdown.

Clicking a node in the Sitecore tree makes all other nodes disappear

I'm encountered a weird issue with new Sitecore user accounts. I set their permissions correctly, giving them access to read, write, create, etc the content items/folders they need and the Media Library. When they user logs in and clicks any of the 5 nodes in the tree (or their children) the Sitecore tree/navigation will hide all other nodes.
So if they click an image in the Media Library, the Sitecore tree will focus on the Media Library and not show the Content, System, Templates, etc nodes.
I've tried adding every single role in my company's Sitecore system to a test user and that didn't change a thing, it still happens. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
In the Content Editor, click the Content Editor menu, and then click Application Options. Click View tab and check "Show Entire Content Tree"

Can you please check your URL if it contains ro=/sitecore/media when you click an image media item? Also let please let us know which version you using of Sitecore? Have you made any changes to link manager ?
This sounds to me like a session issue. The Sitecore shell does not like running in a stateless load balanced environment, and the tree in particular manages it's context in session state. If you have more than one server for authoring behind an NLB make sure you have sticky sessions enabled. Otherwise check to make sure your session state setup is properly configured.

Why is Insert > Related List not working in sharepoint 2013?

Hi I have got a few lists with Lookup fields from Source lists. I wish to have a Related lists (Webpart connections from 2007 days) where I select item from master and then child records are displayed. Although I have followed the instructions on the below article, the "relationship" bit is not working. The Related records from the child lists are not filtering rather showing all records from the child table.

I also encountered this issue, and the solution is pretty simple, but not very obvious. When creating a new page, you MUST be sure that you create a page of type Web Part Page. When you use the default "Add a Page" option from the site settings menu, the default page type is a Wiki page, not a web part page. Even though you can add web parts to a Wiki page, the Wiki page does not include the functionality for implementing web part connections.
Once I created a page using one of the Web Part Page types, I was able to use web part connections.
have you tried this:
Browse to the affected page, and then open the page in edit mode.
Click the drop-down arrow in the upper-right corner of the Web Part for the tasks list, and then click Edit Web Part.
On the right side of the page in the Web Part properties controls, click the plus sign (+) on the Miscellaneous section, click to select the Server Render checkbox, and then click OK.
Save the changes to the page.

Sitecore user cannot load items in editor

I have a content editor that, when she logs into the Sitecore content editor and clicks an item, nothing happens. The item doesn't load for editing. If she clicks off of the item to another item she's prompted "do you want to save the changes to the item"?
Logging in with another account resolves the issue. Logging in with her account on another PC resolves the issue.
Has anyone ever seen this before? Sitecore is non-functional on this user's PC.
When you say that the item doesn't load for editing, you need to be more specific? Obviously, if she's clicking off the item and getting prompted to save, then the user is able to edit the item. What is it that she can't do?
Also, it depends on what role you have the user set to use, but depending on how you have your site configured, a user can simply click the item, see the fields and enter content in them. There may not be any "edit" queue. Is this not the case? If not, then there's more details that are needed to properly answer your question.
It sounds like a browser / caching issue. I usually try the following.
1. If IE 9 the I try and open a session in private and try again
2. Clear all browser history
3. If that doesn't work try with another browser.
4. If other browser fixes the issue then try to reset the original browser's settings to the defaults.
Last check if you are using a proxy server and try without. This is a long shot.
What version of Sitecore is being used? Older versions using IE9 require compatibility mode to be enabled (this was resolved in later updates of 6.5)
I find the Content Editor most stable in Firefox and IE9 compatibility mode. Chrome has a few finicky issues but generally works.

Customizing Icons at the top of the Page

I'm maintaining a Facebook iFrame application, and my client is worried about the transition to Timeline. Basically, they want their home page to have a big icon next to 'Photos' that takes the user to the page hosting the iFrame. The tricky thing is that users can "pledge" within the app, and they want the link icon to look different depending on whether or not the user has pledged within the app. Is there any way to do this?
Assuming the answer is no, is there a way to add a second icon for the iFrame app so that I can customize one to look different? Or would I need to set up another page hosting the same iFrame?
Thanks!
Go to Fan Page Timeline, click the arrow on the half box to the right of photos, likes etc (assuming you haven't changed the order of the apps), hover over the icon you want to change and click on the pencil icon that shows up in the top right corner. Then click "edit settings". Here you can change the tab image or give the tab a custom name.
alternatively you can enter the edit page settings, go to the apps section, edit the app, and you can change the icon from there.
in either case, you will need to be a page admin to complete the task.
Update on 4/12
Facebook just added the functionality for developers to set a default image. Here is the post in the Developer Blog.

How to add a tab to the screen of Siebel Call Center?

I am currently working with Siebel Call Center (Siebel Tools 8.1) and I'm having some trouble adding a tab to the top of the screen, where the 'Accounts', 'Contacts', etc tabs are.
I have added an item under the Page Tabs menu for the Siebel Universal Agent application, but the tab will only show up for the Siebel Administrator.
In Tools:
Create your Views and associate them to a Screen.
In OE go to Application, choose the desired application (e.g. Siebel Universal Agent) and expand. Choose Page Tab, create a new record with your screen.
Compile everything.
In Web Client:
Go to Administration - Application > Responsibilities, choose the responsibility and then Tab Layout, select the application (same as before), find your screen and uncheck the hide property.
Clear the Cache.
Log out.
Log in with the appropriate user.
This is likely because you have not associated any responsibilities with the tab.
This can be administered under:
Site Map > Administration - Application > Responsiblities > Tab Layout
More detail can be found here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B40099_02/books/Secur/Secur_AccessControl40.html
When you say tabs at the top of the Screen I'm assuming you are referring to a Siebel Screen. You do not associate Screens to Responsibilities. You associate Views to Responsibilities. Because a View is a child of a Screen once a View is associated to a Responsibility the Screen will also become available.
You need to do a couple of things to get the Screen/View to be visible.
In the Object Explorer of Siebel tools make sure you have defined your View
In the Object Explorer of Siebel tools make sure you have defined your Screen
In the Object Explorer of Siebel tools make sure you have associated the View to the Screen
Take note of the View Name
In the Siebel Thin/Thick Client, navigate to:
SITE MAP > Administration - Application > Responsibilities
Make sure that a Responsibility that you are associated with has the View (noted in step #4) associated with it
Click the Clear Cache button.
Log Out and back In
Your Screen and View should now be visible.
Just to add to this...
If you are creating the new View from scratch... you'll need to add the View as follows:
Navigate > Site Map > Administration - Application > Views
In the Views Applet click NEW to and enter view name and view description
Set the Local Access flag to Y
In the Responsibilities applet underneath, specify a Responsibility to associate with the view and set Local Access flag to Y
Then you can navigate to Navigate > Site Map > Administration - Application > Responsibilities and clear the cache
