Easy Tech TutsHow to Move Copy Table to Another Base on Airtable Easily 2026
By Impran M N
Migrating a table between Airtable bases involves more than just duplicating rows — you also need to check that linked records and formula fields still work correctly in the new location. This guide covers using the Copy to Another Base option and verifying your data integrity afterward, plus an alternative using Airtable Sync.
01Open the source base
Navigate to the base containing the table you want to transfer.
02Right-click the table tab
Right-click the specific table's tab to open the configuration submenu with migration options.
03Select Copy to Another Base
Choose the 'Copy to another base' option and pick your destination workspace from the list.
04Choose what to include
Review the duplicate settings to decide whether to include or exclude specific row records and field layouts in the copy.
05Verify the migrated data
Open the destination base to check that the table copied correctly, including all expected fields and records.
06Re-link fields and consider Airtable Sync
Re-link any formula fields or record connections that need updating in the new environment, or use Airtable Sync instead if you need ongoing one-way live updates.
Frequently asked questions
Does copying a table to another base keep linked records intact?
Linked record connections often need to be re-established in the destination base since links are specific to the base they were created in.
What's the difference between copying a table and using Airtable Sync?
Copying creates a one-time duplicate you can edit independently; Airtable Sync keeps a live, continuously updating one-way connection between bases.
Can I copy just some records instead of the whole table?
Yes, the duplicate settings let you choose whether to include all row records or exclude specific ones during the copy.
Will formulas still work after moving to a new base?
Formulas referencing fields within the same table usually work fine, but formulas depending on linked records from other tables may need to be reconnected.
