Hide the toolbar for public views

This new feature enhances the presentation of your Retable tables when shared publicly or embedded on your website. You now have the option to hide the toolbar, offering a cleaner and more focused view of your data. This update not only streamlines the appearance of your tables but also ensures that viewers are not distracted by any actions or branding elements associated with the Retable toolbar. You can share your Retable spreadsheets with confidence, knowing that your audience sees only what you want them to see.

Project ID card

Retable's user-friendly project ID card feature is designed to make your spreadsheet experience smoother. This latest enhancement displays all the essential IDs you need for your current table, including workspace ID, project ID, table ID, and even the total number of rows. It's a game-changer for anyone looking to quickly grab the details necessary for API integrations or simply keeping track of table specifics. Now, connecting your tables to external applications is more straightforward than ever, thanks to this convenient information field.

To view your Retable project ID card, simply follow these steps:

Click the three dots next to your Retable project name.
From the dropdown menu that appears, choose the "Information" option.
You will now be able to easily access your project ID card.

Reducing redirect to URL time

We've now shortened the redirection time for URLs on the form view's thank you page to just 5 seconds. This means that after users submit a form on Retable, they will be automatically redirected to your specified URL in only 5 seconds, making the process smoother and more efficient for everyone involved.
