📣 Launching Today: Linked Records in Synced Tables! 🔗

[Evan_Purcell]

Hi Airtable Community,

We are excited to announce that starting today, we are rolling out support for linked records in synced tables! 🎉 

This highly-requested feature allows you to establish and maintain links between records in different tables, even when those tables are later synced across bases. With this feature, you’ll also be able to edit connections across records leveraging two-way sync!

Why is this a game-changer?

• Start syncing linked data (and migrate over existing syncs!) with just a few clicks.  No more relying on automations or field customization to connect linked records in syncs. Now, you’ll have first-class reliability out of the box.
• Work with synced linked data like it’s local to your app. The days of hopping across bases to make edits to linked data are over – you can now change both which records are connected and the cell values within those records, right in place.
• Maintain full data fidelity as workflows scale. Preserve the context and relationships of your data no matter where it's synced, ensuring that everyone is working with comprehensive, interconnected data at all times.

With linked records in synced tables, you can now effortlessly keep your data connected and in context across your entire organization. This enables smoother collaboration, better-informed decisions, and greater alignment around a single source of truth.
