Migrating single-page app to multi-page app

Are there plans to create a migration path for transitioning single-page apps to multi-page? I'm wondering if I should just bite the bullet and start porting everything over to a brand new app, or if I should hold out. I'd much rather not migrate to a new app if possible.

Hey @jonnilundy,

I may be misunderstanding the question, but there is already an option to import an app as a page in a multipage app

Is this what you have in mind?

Oh that's helpful. What i was hoping for is being able to convert an existing app into multi-app. This way I don't have to deal with any url changes.

Ah yeah, that would be a nice feature. I don't think it is available at the moment, but will let the retool team chip in, maybe @ming?

Hey @jonnilundy, that's not a feature yet but it is planned for the long-term. You could also try the duplicate to multipage feature, it won't preserve the url but a lot should transfer

Hello ! is this now available as a feature? because i see a prompt on my app saying to click a button to do it.
and also what happens if we don't convert at all ?

Hey @Amir1 - good question. :slightly_smiling_face: This feature is available on Cloud with the release of version 3.172. We're also starting to prompt users to convert in order to take advantage of potential performance improvements.

I don't think there's any significant pressure to convert, though, as your legacy single-page apps will continue to function. Keep an eye out for any updates on our changelog page!
