[Bases](https://obsidian.md/help/bases) let you create database-like views of your notes. Here's how you can create a base and embed it in a note. Every base can have one or more [views](https://obsidian.md/help/bases/views) to display information in different ways.

## Create a new base

**Command palette:**

1. Open the **Command palette**.
2. Select
	- **Bases: Create new base** to create a base in the same folder as the active file.
		- **Bases: Insert new base** to create a base and embed it in the current file.

**File explorer:**

1. In the File explorer, right-click the folder you want to create the base in.
2. Select **New base**.

**Ribbon:**

- In the vertical ribbon menu, select **Create new base** to create a base in the same folder as the active file.

## Embed a base

### Embed a base file

You can embed base files in [any other file](https://obsidian.md/help/embeds) using the `![[File.base]]` syntax. To specify the default view use `![[File.base#View]]`.

### Embed a base as a code block

Bases can also embedded directly into a note using a `base` code block and the [bases syntax](https://obsidian.md/help/bases/syntax).

```yaml
\`\`\`base
filters:
  and:
    - file.hasTag("example")
views:
  - type: table
    name: Table
\`\`\`
```
