How to freeze columns in Airtable

Summary

Freezing columns keeps the fields you care about pinned to the left of a grid view while the rest of the table scrolls. In Airtable you control this with a draggable divider, so you can pin one column or several.

Step-by-step guide

1. Step 1

   Find the frozen column divider

   Open your table in grid view. Move your pointer over the vertical line to the right of the **Name** column. A handle appears with the hint "Drag to adjust the number of frozen columns". Everything to the left of this line stays in place when you scroll.

2. Step 2

   Drag the divider right to freeze more columns

   Press and hold the handle, then drag it to the right across the **Notes** column and release. The divider snaps to the edge of that column, so both **Name** and **Notes** are now frozen. Airtable shows "All changes saved" when the view updates.

3. Step 3

   Drag the divider back to unfreeze columns

   To undo it, drag the handle left until only the **Name** column sits to its left. Fewer columns are frozen, and the rest of the grid has more room to scroll. Move the divider again whenever you want a different layout.
