I want to rename my airtable base and I’m not sure if this will affect the sync to glide in any way. Probably glide uses a unique id for communicating with the airtable base anyways, but I just wanted to make sure I’m not destroying my current work lol.

Advice is welcomed – thank you in advance!

I think so, but @Robert_Petitto might know better.

Yes, you can rename your base freely.
