Glossary

The terms below are taken from the project’s own naming specification. This is the subset that is settled; it is not the whole vocabulary yet.

Term	Means
Organization	The top-level customer entity. Billing lives here.
Space	A container inside an Organization, bound to exactly one platform. Has its own backups, destination and settings.
Platform	A supported source system. Airtable in V1.
Source	A connection between your account and a platform — for Airtable, OAuth or a personal access token.
Destination	Where backup files are written. File storage is required; a database is optional.
Base	An Airtable base visible through a Source.
Table / Field / Record / View	Airtable’s own terms, used unchanged.
Attachment	A file on an attachment-type field.
Automation / Interface	Airtable’s own terms. Neither can be exported by Airtable’s API.
Backup run	One execution of the backup process. An immutable log entry.
Snapshot	The output of a backup run — what you restore from.
Restore	Writing a snapshot back into Airtable. Always into new tables, never over the original.
Health score	A per-base 0–100 grade over schema cleanliness, data quality and configuration.
Changelog	A time-ordered diff between backups — one for schema, one for data.
Preset	A saved base + table + filter + field selection on the Data section.

Why “Space” and not “Workspace”

Airtable already uses “Workspace” for its own concept. Using the same word for ours would be ambiguous the moment someone has several Airtable workspaces inside one Baseout Space.

Not complete

Terms deliberately left out because their meaning is not settled: the plan and tier names, the credit and usage vocabulary, and the backup-mode names (static, dynamic, instant) which appear in the specifications but not in any shipped screen.
