Step 5: Position the Footer

  2. Check out the appearance and functionality on both desktop and mobile views.
  3. Make any necessary tweaks in the Rich Text component properties if needed.

Step 7: Save and Publish

  1. Once you're happy with how the footer looks and works, click Save.
  2. Publish the changes if your app is live, so users can see the new custom footer.

By following these steps, you can easily create and customize a footer in Glide. Make sure to test the footer across different devices for consistency.
