Having multiple pages open at the same time

Need help Database

Hello, If I have a page that displays info for user 1 and then open the same page in a new tab displaying info for user 2, the info for user 1 is overridden and no longer displays properly on that page. Is there any way to avoid this? Thanks in advance!

Pix or it didn’t happen… what you’re saying makes little sense. Are you quite sure?

I know what you mean. I have seen the same thing. Maybe if you use custom states to save your data it might work.

For example, when page load save current data to the same data type in a custom state. Then on your page refer to the custom state to display your data. Would that work for your needs? I haven’t tried it myself but in theory it should work.

Edit: Wait a minute. You said “User”, hmm. That doesn’t seem right. Is it because you are referencing current user, then logging out and logging in as a different User?

Hi @Drahgoone,

Keep in mind that a new tab within a single browser instance will be seen by bubble as the same app user. If you are looking to see what two distinct users will experience, there are few ways to do this.

  1. The obvious, use a second device
  2. Use a different flavor of browser. Safari and chrome and firefox, etc. will each be seen as different users
  3. Setup users using the features from within each browser.

If you know all this, then just explain a bit further with another level of details so we can help.

Thanks! The first and second solutions both work, what do you mean by “3. Setup users using the features from within each browser.”? How do you usually go about this issue? If I could prevent pages from updating live that would do it.

Here is some information pertaining to multiple users and Chrome: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/2364824

You can similarly search google for the other flavors. I use these profiles to quickly switch between different users during development and testing. For example, you can have an admin role logged into your app, while also looking at a user level role in another window. Helps me keep professional and personal worlds separate as well.
