Airtable is a powerful database tool that can be overwhelming for new users. To learn its capabilities, start by playing with Airtable templates, which provide a pre-populated example of how the system works. Explore different views and features, such as expanding records to see all details at once, and creating custom views tailored to your specific needs. Use filters and marking views as favorites to make it easier to find the ones you use most. With practice, Airtable can become less intimidating and a valuable tool for managing data and workflows.
