What’s new in Airtable: September 2022
We're kicking off fall with a new kanban element for interfaces, ways to make working in your base even easier (try our grouping suggestions!), a story on how a global guitar company uses Airtable, and more.
Watch “What’s new (in two)” above for a walkthrough of these product updates.
Create with ease in Airtable
Buckle up–you’ve now got a lot of improvements designed around making building and working in Airtable easier than ever.
Some of these simple-but-delightful updates include:
- An “add more” button that lets you add features (automations, extensions, syncs, and more) to your base, all from the same place
- Suggestions for grouping, as well as quick grouping and sorting, so you can experiment with how you view your records
- A quick way to add yourself to the collaborator field (so you can assign yourself tasks faster)
- The ability to upload multiple photos and videos to an attachment field at the same time

Visualize & manage tasks in interfaces with kanban
Just when you thought Interface Designer couldn’t get any more dynamic–say hello to kanban for interfaces.
Kanban’s stacked cards allow you to drag and drop tasks between columns easily, updating records in real time. Add the new kanban element to your interface for a fresh way to display records.

Announcing the winners of the first Interface Designer contest
With Interface Designer, there’s no shortage of ways to create interfaces and customize them for specific needs. So… we decided to hold a contest and see what you’ve made so far.
We asked our Community to submit your best interfaces, and you did not disappoint. It was a tough call, but our judges have selected the nine best interfaces for their design and solution (plus, a wildcard option). You’re not gonna want to miss out on the school assignment base that’s been disguised as a role-playing adventure game.
