Or if you’re just getting started, how do you hope to use it? I need to understand how to setup and use Airtable efficiently for my organization. in other words, HELP! 😁

The first time I decided to use airtable For the purpose of familiarization, I went through the steps of onboarding I chose a template about “cinema” - it drew everything for me, some data had already been entered, and displayed further steps in the left menu (see screenshot)And so I go through these steps, add my data, create new tables and records, and spent two hours on it.And finally, I click on “Remove sample data” in the hope that it will delete all these movie mocks and leave only mine - but alas, it deletes ALL RECORDS ALTOGETHER. All sorts of “Undo”, “snapshots”, digging in the trash - nothing could get my data back. This is probably a message for support, but alas, everything is so riddled with bots that it is impossible to turn to someone for help.

Whether it's dashboards, interfaces, or automation flows. I am also ready to grow and give back to this vibrant community. If you’re also working with Airtable or curious about workflow automation, let’s connect. I’d love to learn from you and share ideas!
