Troubleshoot AppSheet image loading by inspecting the element and URL, ensure folder names match the table (for example, employees images), then resync and refresh to load via CDN.

Explain why the spreadsheet row number is a poor Appsheet key, and demonstrate adding an ID column to use as the unique key instead of the name.

AppSheet writes new rows to the bottom of the Google Sheet, which can leave gaps that hide recently added data; remove empty rows and resync to fix.
