App states in Adalo are basically the different conditions or "states" that your app's components can be in. These include visibility states (show/hide), value states (input values, text values), and action-triggered states (buttons, links). Managing these states well can create a more dynamic and interactive user experience.

1. Pick the component you want to manage (like a button or text field).
2. In the properties panel, go to the "Visibility" settings.
3. Click "Add Condition" to set visibility rules based on user actions or data.
4. Define the rule (e.g., show the button only if a user has completed a form).
5. Combine multiple conditions using AND/OR operators for more complex behavior.

1. Select the component where you want to trigger an action (like a button).
2. Go to the "Actions" tab in the properties panel.
3. Add an action (e.g., update record, link to a screen, or display an alert).
4. Configure the action parameters, like which data to update or which screen to navigate to.
5. Make sure the action modifies the app state accordingly (e.g., updating user data toggles visibility of a thank you message).

1. Create a custom collection to store user inputs and app states.
2. Bind form inputs and other components to fields in this collection.
3. Track changes to collection items to determine the state of your app.
4. Use conditional visibility and actions based on values in this collection (e.g., display a specific screen if a user role is 'admin').

1. Add input components (text fields, sliders, dropdowns) to your screen.
2. Set default values to control initial states.
3. Bind input values to collection fields or variables to capture user input in real-time.
4. Use actions to change states based on input values (e.g., disable a submit button until all required fields are filled).

1. Add a list component to your screen.
2. Bind the list to a collection to dynamically display items.
3. Use filters and sort options to manage what items are visible based on app state.
4. Apply conditional visibility rules to list items to hide or show them based on specific criteria.

1. Go to the "App Variables" in the App Settings.
2. Create new variables to store values that need to be accessed across different screens.
3. Update these variables using actions to ensure they represent the current app state.
4. Use these variables in visibility rules, input defaults, and dynamic lists to manage the app state globally.

1. Thoroughly test your app to ensure all states transition smoothly.
2. Simulate various conditions and user interactions to see if visibility rules and actions are working as expected.
3. Use the preview mode in Adalo to identify any issues and adjust your states accordingly.
4. Continuously monitor user feedback to refine state management logic for better user experience.
