# Customize a Baserow Table - Menu, Webhooks, Export

> A single three-dot menu next to any Baserow table controls its name, sort order, webhook notifications, and CSV export, without touching the data stored inside.

Renaming a table, reordering it, wiring up a webhook, or exporting its data all live in one place in Baserow: the three-dot menu `⋮` next to the table's name in the sidebar, without touching the table's actual structure.

## Overview

Table settings control how a table behaves and how it talks to outside systems. Unlike field-level settings, which affect a single column, table settings apply to the whole table and its data. They live in the three-dot menu (`⋮`) next to each table's name in the sidebar; a few settings, like reordering, work directly through drag-and-drop in the sidebar without opening a menu at all.

## Organizing Tables

**Renaming.** Give a table a clear, descriptive name that reflects its purpose and content - this matters most in databases with several similar tables, where generic names like "Table 1" cause confusion. To rename a table, open the `⋮` menu next to its name, select "Rename," and enter the new name. Names can change at any time without affecting data, views, or relationships with other tables.

**Reordering.** Arrange tables in the sidebar to match the workflow: frequently used tables near the top, related tables grouped together. Click and hold a table's name, then drag it to the desired position.

## Table Operations

**Duplicating.** Creates an exact copy of a table's structure and data - useful for templates, testing changes without touching the original, or setting up similar tables for different teams. Available from the table menu (`⋮`); the copy appears right below the original. Fields, data, views, filters, sorts, and formulas all get duplicated, but row revision history and webhook configuration do not. See [Create a Table](/docs/baserow/tables/create-a-table/) for the details.

**Deleting.** Removes a table that is no longer needed, moving it to the trash with a recovery window before it's gone for good. Available from the table menu (`⋮`); confirm the deletion and use the 5-second undo window if you change your mind right away. See [Delete a Table](/docs/baserow/tables/delete-a-table/) for the details.

## Data Management

**Exporting tables.** Export a table's data for backups, analysis in an external tool, or sharing with people outside Baserow - the open-source edition supports CSV export, a universally compatible format for spreadsheet apps and databases. Available from the table menu or the view settings. See [Export Tables](/docs/baserow/tables/export-tables/) for the walkthrough.

**Pasting multiple cells.** Speed up data entry by copying and pasting several cells at once from a spreadsheet or another source: select cells in Excel or Google Sheets, copy them (Ctrl/Cmd + C), click into the target cell in Baserow, and paste (Ctrl/Cmd + V). Baserow maps the pasted data onto the table's structure, filling cells in the same pattern as the original selection, and it respects field types along the way - numbers land in number fields, dates in date fields. See [Paste Data into a Table](/docs/baserow/rows/paste-data-into-baserow-table/) for more.

## Webhooks

**Webhooks.** Send real-time notifications to external systems whenever data changes in the table - useful for triggering external workflows when new rows appear, alerting on specific field updates, or forwarding data to another system through a platform like Zapier or Make. Configure a webhook from the table menu by specifying the URL to notify and which events trigger it (row created, updated, deleted).

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Can table settings be customized per view?** Table settings apply to the whole table across every view. View-specific settings - filters, sorts, field visibility - are configured separately through [view customization](/docs/baserow/views/view-customization/).

**What happens to webhooks when a table is duplicated?** Webhooks are not duplicated along with the table - after duplicating, reconfigure them on the new table to get the same webhook behavior.

**Can a table deletion be undone?** Yes, an undo button appears for 5 seconds right after deletion. After that, the table moves to the trash, where it can be restored during the grace period - once that period ends, the deletion becomes permanent.
