Some of the things you take notes on naturally come in sets: the lectures in a course, the vocabulary you're studying, the books you plan to read. Each entry has the same handful of details worth tracking, like a date, a topic, or a status.

Advanced Tables let you manage information like this directly within your knowledge base: each row represents one entry, and each column corresponds to a property of that entry.

Advanced Tables are powered by RemNote's tags and properties, which means the data in your table stays connected to everything else in your notes. You don't need to think about tags to use a table, though; for most workflows you can simply work within the table itself. If you do want to read more about how Advanced tables and tags work together, see Tags, Properties, Templates, and Tables in Five Minutes.

You can create a new Advanced Table in two ways:

You can also insert a view of an existing Advanced Table or tag anywhere in your notes by typing /table and selecting the New Table View for Existing Table/Tag option. This lets you open the same table in multiple documents across your knowledge base, and changes you make in one view update the table everywhere it appears.

You can create new rows at the top, bottom, or after any existing row by clicking the Add Row button next to the position where you want it. Clicking the Add Row button in the top-right corner of the table adds a row at the top.

Once your table has content, you can:

You can zoom into any item in an Advanced Table by clicking the bullet next to it. For example, if you are tracking lectures, each row can represent a different lecture. Click the bullet to open a lecture, then add notes or details inside that bullet, just like you would anywhere else in RemNote.

If you often zoom into rows, you can set the table to automatically convert each new row into a document. To enable this, click the Name column header and select the relevant option from the menu.

Once this is set up, every item in the table becomes its own document. An Open button will appear on each row, allowing you to quickly preview the document's content or zoom in by double-clicking the button.

To quickly update or remove several rows at once, select the checkboxes next to the rows you want to edit. Then use the floating toolbar to bulk-edit their values or delete them in a single action.

To change the name or options of a column, click on the column header to open the configuration menu. This menu offers options for working with columns (such as Sort, Filter, Hide Property, and actions to move the column left or right), as well as options for configuring the properties themselves.

For every column except the initial Name column, you can enable the AI Autofill option. When you fill in the Name column, any columns with autofill enabled will be automatically pre-filled based on their column names.

You can also add custom instructions to guide how AI formats its output. For instance, if you are learning a new language, you might ask AI to always include a translation after each example sentence, or to use only simple vocabulary when generating examples.

You can quickly build out entire table structures with just a few keystrokes. After you type the name of your table, AI-powered suggestions for relevant columns will appear automatically.

Press Tab to accept them. Then press Tab again to add suggested rows.

After selecting rows, the entire table with all columns will be AI-autofilled for you.

RemNote offers several ways to duplicate an Advanced Table. To get started, click the gear icon (⚙) and select Duplicate Table. You will see three options:

Creating flashcards from Advanced Tables uses RemNote's Concept/Descriptor Framework. Each value in the Name column is treated as a Concept, while the other columns serve as Descriptors.
