Yes, you can **collapse a connected table** inside a form. Every connected table block has a collapse option, condensing the view and freeing up screen space for the rest of the card's information.

## Why does collapsing tables help with organization?

Forms with several connected tables — like an employee's card that gathers reimbursements, reviews, one-on-ones, and time records — can get too long to scroll through comfortably. Collapsing the tables that don't need immediate attention keeps the screen more focused, without losing quick access to that information when needed.

This is especially useful when the user wants to focus on a specific section of the form without getting distracted by the rest of the content.

## How to collapse a connected table

1. Find the connected table block inside the form or card.
2. Click the collapse option on the block.
3. The table now shows only the title, taking up much less vertical space.
4. Click again to expand and view the full records whenever you need to.

| State         | Best used for                        |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| **Expanded**  | Actively reviewing connected records |
| **Collapsed** | Saving space when not in use         |

### FAQ

### Does collapsing the table delete its data?

No, the data stays saved normally; only the view gets condensed.

### Does each user see the collapsed table their own way?

That depends on the form's setup; generally the default state is defined in the block's edit view.

### Can I collapse some tables and leave others expanded?

Yes, each connected table block is controlled independently. Learn more at [jestor.com](https://jestor.com/?ref=blog.jestor.com).
