Bases

A Base is a single content type and its fields — records, fields, and views all live directly in it. Bases live in your workspace (and can be organized in folders). Bases give you the Airtable-style flexibility of a spreadsheet with the rigor of a typed schema underneath.

A base and its records, with every base in the left sidebar.

Edit cells in the table

You can change a value without opening the record, the way you would in a spreadsheet.

1. Click a cell to select it. Click the record's first cell (its title), or press Space on any selected cell, to open the whole record.
2. Double-click the cell, press Enter, or just start typing to edit it.
3. Press Enter or click elsewhere to save. Press Esc to cancel.

Arrow keys and Tab move between cells. A checkbox toggles with one click or Space, and a single select opens its list of options.

These field types edit in the table: text, number, single select, checkbox, date, URL, email, and phone. Long text, JSON, attachments, relations, people, lookups, formulas, and AI fields stay read-only in the table; open the record to change them.

Every edit is still a change request. If you have write access it is merged at once and appears in the record's history. If your access to the Base is Change request, the cell keeps its current value, shows Waiting for review, and links to the request; the value changes once someone approves it. People who can only view the Base can't edit cells. On touch-only screens, such as phones, the table stays read-only: tap a row to open the record and edit it there.
