Hello,

I am new to Airtable and I have a free plan active from 12 days…
I have a sort of confusion related to Revision History…
What is Revision History? I had 2 weeks of revision history in my account…Now it’s the 12th day…
Does that mean - when the revision history time limit finishes, I will lose all my spreadsheet’s current data?
And in Pricing, I liked the PRO plan. It states 20$ / user. What does that mean?
And are any other things / main points I need to know before purchasing the PRO plan?

Thanks in advance for any help.

You never lose your current table/base data unless you delete it yourself. Revision History tracks what a field’s value has been in the past, and the number of days Airtable will remember for you depends on your plan.

If you accidentally changed a field’s value to “Red”, for instance, you can look at that record’s Revision History to see what the field said a day ago, a week ago, a month ago, etc. to correct the mistake.

With regard to pricing: You are at least one user. Therefore the minimum you pay for a Pro Workspace is $20 a month. If you were to share access to the workspace with your friend, Airtable would charge $40 a month ($20 x 2).

I wouldn’t get a Pro account until you have a more full understanding of how Airtable works. The main additional features Pro accounts have are increased storage space and Blocks (which let you make graphs, maps, track time, etc.)
