I’d like to share this new **free** tool that I built. This tool allows you to explore and understand your Knack application’s structure by visualizing views, scenes, fields, objects, and how they’re all connected. It is fast, clean, and shows comprehensive information for the items and relationships in your Knack app. **You can access it and sign up for an account here:** [Knack Navigator](https://av.knack.com/metadata-navigator#about/) _Note that this URL may change, in which case I will set up a redirect and I will update any forum posts referencing it._ This tool will be under continuous development with more features and integration with [KTL](https://github.com/cortexrd/Knack-Toolkit-Library) coming soon! This standalone version will remain for those who wish to use it on apps that don’t have KTL. Please try it out and feel free to send me any bugs, feature requests, and feedback. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/knack/original/2X/f/f0da4c01ef2d9df6833c27fd18ed666918b1ab7a.png) ---

Hi I put my app ID in but it doesn’t like accessing because “it is not public”. Not sure what that implies to be honest. My app is certainly not “public and requires logins for select users”. Any suggestions ? Cheers Ray ---

I’ll be rolling out the ability to save your app IDs so you don’t need to keep re-entering them. Or do you mean you want to search across multiple app IDs at the same time? ---
