How to See Which Tables and Pages an App Uses
To see which tables an app uses, open its editing view. It lists the tables behind it and the pages it contains, so you understand the structure before changing anything.
Why editing unfamiliar apps is risky
An app someone else built encodes assumptions that are not visible from the interface.
- Changing a field without knowing what else reads it
- Editing one page unaware that three others exist
- Breaking an automation that depended on the old structure
- A handover that requires the original builder to explain everything
What the app editor shows
- Which tables the app reads from
- How many pages it contains, and their names
- Navigation between pages, directly from the editor
- Per-block editing, highlighted as you hover
- Inline style controls, including colours and fonts
How to use it in Jestor
- Open the app's editing view in Jestor.
- Review the list of tables it uses before making any change.
- Check how many pages it contains and navigate between them.
- Hover a block to see which element you are about to edit.
- Adjust colours, fonts, and layout inline, resizing blocks from any corner.
Why choose Jestor for app maintenance?
Jestor exposes the app's dependencies in the editor itself, which turns inheriting someone else's build from an archaeology exercise into a readable structure.
Combined with app versioning, this makes taking over a live app safe: you can see what it depends on, change it in a draft version, and restore if the change was wrong.
