Learn how to create, update, and manage records in NocoDB tables.

Records are the individual entries in a NocoDB table. By default, each table is a grid of records (rows), fields (columns), and cells. Records store and give access to your data. A record can hold many types of information: text, numbers, dates, file attachments, and links to other records in the same table or in other tables. This lets you build databases that match your data needs.

A record is a horizontal row of data in a NocoDB table. Each record is one separate item of information. Records help you organize, group, and show your data in a clear structure.

You can do these actions on records:

* [Create a new record](/docs/product/tables/records/create-record) to enter information.
* [Modify an existing record](/docs/product/tables/records/actions-on-record#update-record), or do a [bulk update](/docs/product/tables/records/actions-on-record#bulk-update-records--) of many records at one time.
* [Delete](/docs/product/tables/records/actions-on-record#delete-record-single) or [duplicate](/docs/product/tables/records/expand-record#duplicate-record) records.
* Use the [expanded record side panel](/docs/product/tables/records/expand-record) for a detailed view. It has a [record change log](/docs/product/tables/records/expand-record#record-audit) that tracks all changes, and you can [write comments](/docs/product/tables/records/expand-record#record-comment) for context and collaboration.
* [Share records](/docs/product/tables/records/expand-record#copy-record-url) with a shareable URL.

This section describes how to work with records in NocoDB.
