Attaching documentation

I’ve written some definitions to help our whole team use Airtable as a project management system in the same way (what is a project, what is a task, what is a stand alone task etc).

Is there anywhere I can put this documentation IN our base?!

It seems like it would be easier to keep the “instructions” right there in the system.

Yep, there are two options for that.


The first option is available to free accounts and paid accounts:

  • Click on your base’s name:

  • Select “Base description”:

  • Paste or write your documentation there:


The second option is only available to Pro accounts with access to Blocks:

  • Click “+ Add a block” and find the “Description” block:

  • Paste or write your documentation there:

Hope that helps!
