# Airtable

>[Airtable](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airtable) is a cloud collaboration service.
`Airtable` is a spreadsheet-database hybrid, with the features of a database but applied to a spreadsheet. 
> The fields in an Airtable table are similar to cells in a spreadsheet, but have types such as 'checkbox', 
> 'phone number', and 'drop-down list', and can reference file attachments like images.

>Users can create a database, set up column types, add records, link tables to one another, collaborate, sort records
> and publish views to external websites.
