Hello! I have had a colleague leave recently who made a form that links to data that gets submitted. However, I cannot locate the workspace the data is pulling into and cannot ask the colleague. Any tips?

Hey!

If it is a native Airtable form, then you will easily find the App ID on the form's url.

E.g. out of the form public URL "https://airtable.com/appJv3DGapNAdJfUh/shrNBRbVJz2J7bA4l", the initial part "https://airtable.com/appJv3DGapNAdJfUh" will automatically re-direct you to your base -as long as your account has access to the base.
As you can see, the App ID (base ID) is included within such URL!

Is that a native Airtable form? Or third party such as Fillout?

It is a native airtable form, and I still have the airtable form URL which is active and sending data. I just don't know if I could tell if the original base would have been deleted and if it would come up with an error or whether it would still show as a form submission.
