NOTE: This blog was updated on 2/26/25 Hey Airtable Community 👋 You might have noticed a little something different with the community, and we wanted to share a little bit about what we’ve been working on! The community will experience disruptions starting Friday, Feb 28. Why, you ask? Well, we always want to create a better experience for our members guided by what our members find most important. Based on feedback that we’d been hearing, we realized that meant redesigning a community experience tailored to better connect, engage, and empower all of our members! We’ve put a lot of thought into what this will look like and, in just a few more days, we can’t wait to unveil the new community that we’ve been hard at work building for you.  However, because you’ve been such a prolific community (give yourselves a pat on the back 👏), that means we have a ton of data over the

With the new trash dialog, you can now restore mistakenly deleted items for up to seven days after deletion! More specifically, collaborators with creator and editor permissions can open up the trash to see the tables, views, fields, and records that have been deleted in a base in the past seven days. Creators can restore all items that appear in the trash, and editors can restore records and fields. Please note that the tables, fields, views, and records you delete will now be visible to editor- and creator-level collaborators for seven days unless you click the empty trash button from within the trash dialog. Emptying the trash will permanently remove everything in the trash, and only creators can empty the trash.

Hey everyone,We’ve got some exciting news about a long-awaited change to app cloning in Airtable!Who does this affect? This change is for all users of Airtable across all our plan types. What’s Changing? Currently, when you clone an app (e.g. using “Duplicate base” or “Take snapshot”), all the underlying object IDs (like table IDs and field IDs) are replaced with new ones in the cloned version. With this update, those IDs will now stay the same in the cloned app. The only thing that will change is the top-level app ID.Why This Matters: This update will make things a lot smoother, especially for users who’ve had to deal with workarounds due to different object IDs when restoring snapshots. How to review your set up: For most users, this shouldn’t require you to make any cha

It’s here! You can now configure form fields so that they display or hide based on the submitter’s responses in previous fields. Here’s how to use it in the form builder: Underneath the field title/description, turn ON the toggle switch labeled “Show field only when conditions are met.” Choose another field and the value or condition it should meet. Like with filters, you can add as many conditions as you’d like to a field. And here’s some useful tips: You can chain together multiple conditional form fields in a sequence—i.e., use one conditional form field as the condition for another form field You can make conditional form fields required! When a conditional form field is set as required, it is hidden by default until its condition is met. Once its condition is met, the form will still require it to be

Today we're excited to release three new features that will greatly improve Project Management workflows in Airtable. These include a new gantt layout option, date dependencies which work across views and a better way to preview utilization when assigning tasks. 1. Gantt in interfacesIf you ever wondered why we needed two separate views for timeline and gantt, so did we. Gantt is now a layout option within timeline view. This means you can now view and manage dependent tasks within interfaces or anywhere else you have a timeline view, by selecting gantt in the new layout toggle.   2. Date dependency configurationPowering the new gantt option in timeline is the ability to configure date dependencies which work across all of your views and interfaces. So if you conn

Hello! My name is Sarah and I’m a software engineer at Airtable focused on helping new users get up and running with Airtable.

Hi Airtable Community, Today, we’re announcing new capabilities that unlock a new level of scale and sophistication for the workflows you build on Airtable. With today’s launch, Airtable is taking a massive step forward in becoming your digital operations platform for the AI era.  You’ve shown us that there is a gap in the market: On one hand, project management, collaboration, and SaaS point solutions are often quickly adopted by teams, but don’t scale up to solve cross-functional business processes. These tools have bolted on AI features that are limiting and inflexible.  On the other hand, there’s the heavyweight approach of building your own custom internal apps from scratch. While this route allows greater control, you’re bottlenecked by technical teams who have a laundry list of requests from the business. With AI, this path is just too slow and disconnected from real busine

Hello everybody! :tada: I’m Sean, an engineer here at Airtable, and I’m excited to share a small (but hopefully mighty 🤞 ) change we made recently to grid view.

Well now searching (with CMD-F / CTRL-F) will highlight fields as well as cells: Zooming into the exciting part: You might also notice that we added summary information at the bottom. The number of cells found (in case you relied on how many “matches” were found previously), as well as how many matching records and fields there are!
