There are 5 general types of share links in Airtable that can be disabled.

1. View share links

How do I regenerate a disabled standalone form share link?

There isn’t a way to “regenerate” standalone form links. For this reason, if a share link to a form has been disabled, you’ll need to duplicate an existing standalone form and delete the original form.

1. Navigate to the base where the standalone form is configured.

2. Click the Forms option in the upper portion of the screen.

3. Hover over the form that you want to duplicate and delete. Click on the … icon that appears.

4. Click Duplicate. This will create a new form, with a new link. The duplicate form’s name will have the word “Copy” appended to the end of its name.

5. Once the duplicate appears, you can click go back to the original form, click the … icon, and click Delete.

How do I regenerate a sync share link?

Note

If you change this setting, the data in this table will stop syncing to other bases. Any tables currently syncing data from this view will no longer be updated.

1. Navigate to the specific base and view where you want to regenerate a sync share link.

With the link now regenerated, you can copy that new link and navigate to each of the previously synced tables to reconnect the downstream sync. Tables with broken sync connections will show a triangle and ! symbol next to the table name.

To reconnect the table:

1. Click the name of the table.

2. Click Update sync configuration.

3. Click Reconnect next to the message “Unable to sync this source. Could not find source view that matched specified share.”

6. Repeat this process for any other tables that you want to reconnect.
