When you complete work on a table or a tab, sometimes you want to keep it as a record of the pass, but no longer need it for day-to-day operations.


For larger projects where many tables may be created, having the ability to archive tables that are no longer under active use would be a great way to promote base health, and to make jumping into a new base less scary.

Yes, I would love this too!!

i love this tool i want to use it

Has there been any consideration of this? This would be massively helpful in leeping out projects relevant and organised. Looking for an official response if possible 🙂

Would definitely be really helpfull. Thanks Airtable team for considering it please

Definitely looking for this

I am upvoting this feature as well. Really crucial for my team.

Has there been any development on this function? This would be a fantastic improvement.

Still important and relevant. I don’t want to delete these tables, but I do want more space on the top row, so I can focus attention on the tables I need. Even if there was the option to “hide” or minimize the tab, that would be useful.

Still something I would love to see considered!

So crucial!! I need to be able to hide or archive old projects, but still reference back to them. Anyone else have a base with 496749857934 tabs?

Yes, PLEASE! This would clear so much clutter!

I’ve implemented workaround with CSV export - zip

also, i’m going to separately save attachments, as links will stop working at November

Contents of Archive table:



Note: I saw a vbs script to save attachments, using CSV file, it parse and download all links. but I prefer this approach:




save to CMD file and run


formula(supports multiple files)




IF(doc, SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(

  'curl -o "' &doc,

  '(https:','" https:'

  ),')',''),

  ',',' & curl -o "')

)

How does this work? Is it with a button or automation?

it’s a formula, which turns usual text representation of attachment,

Filename.ext (https://dl.airtable.com/.attachments/f3sya...4303/Filename.ext) to a command

curl -o Filename.ext https://link_to_download


(curl is a windows command line tool to download, filename option can be omitted, but here in formula it’s easier to leave it, than remove)

if you copy a list of such commands into usual text file, and change it to .cmd, it will download all copied files to the same folder.

I would LOVE the ability to archive or hide a tab! I use the same base year after year for project management and it would be helpful to archive past years but still have them available if needed. 

Adding my support of this! This would be so incredibly helpful, and will probably be one of the make or break items if my company ends up wanting to move to another platform.
