:wave: Hello! I’m Ayesha, a Product Manager here at Airtable. We’re so excited to share a new feature with you that allows you to change the term “record” in the product to a term that’s more specific to your table. What is this? When you name a table, you can now optionally select a name for your records from a list of 50+ options. You’ll see that name used in the product where you see your table or view, so you can more easily understand what actions you’re taking. For example, instead of seeing the generic “Add record” action: You can now override this “record” terminology by specifying the work that you want to track. If you choose to call your record a “task”, you and your team can now see “Add task”:

Hi all - I hope your week is going well. As you may have noticed this morning, editable shared views was accidentally enabled for all Airtable users and has since been rolled back. First, I would like to apologize for any inconvenience or confusion this may have caused and acknowledge that we know this is a feature that the community is excited about. It has been great to watch people become experts in 30 minutes to share with the community and see all the excitement on Twitter. We know how upsetting it may be that this was accidentally enabled and we want to share some insights into what happened with all of you. We know that collaboration in Airtable is top of mind for many of you (us too!), and the editable shared view feature is one of the many ways we’ve explored making that experience more impactful. However, we’re not currently prioritizing the development of this feature and are instead focusing on solving this problem in a more comprehensive way.

Hey everyone, I'm Ruihan, a software engineer at Airtable working on our List View feature. I’m happy to announce another exciting update – grouping! You will now be able to add up to two groups to the bottom-most level of your List View.  To add a group in your base, select  “Group” in the view menu bar.  To add a group to a list view in your interface, head over to your properties panel to enable grouping.  Afterwards, you will also be able to sort groups, and drag and drop items from one group to another.  We hope this update adds more value to your experience using List View and we’re excited to bring even more useful improvements to this feature in the coming months. Try it out for yourself and please share any feedback you might have! If you have any questions, feel free to drop a

TL;DR: We’ve added a new way to quickly group your data in Airtable. Hi Airtable community! My name is Sean and I’m an engineer here at Airtable, focused on finding ways to make Airtable easier to use for everyone. In interviews with users across the board, we’ve heard lots of feedback about confusion with our groups, sorting, and filtering. New users were especially confused with understanding how these features worked and were afraid to test them out for fear of “breaking everything”. With that in mind, we’re in the process of rolling out two features we’re calling “Quick groups” and “quick sort”. Simply put, we’ll make some suggestions based on existing, easily groupable (or sortable) fields already in your base. For example, we’ll recommend grouping by fields such as single-select fields, linked records, and more. And if
