FAQ
What is the difference between creating a record in gallery view and in table view?
- After you create a record in gallery view, it is displayed directly as a card.
- In table view, the same record is usually displayed as a row.
- The display format is different, but the record fields can still correspond to the same data.
Can I recover a deleted record?
- Confirm whether the record still needs to be kept before deleting it.
- If direct undo is not available for the current deletion action, proceed carefully.
- If your team uses version history or another backup method, check whether recoverable content is available there.
Why can’t I see the Add Record button?
- First confirm that you are currently in the gallery view of a smart table.
- Check whether you have edit permission for the current table.
- If the interface has not refreshed yet, reopen the file and check the bottom toolbar again.
