# Working with Non-spatial Tables

Non-spatial tables are often a key part of a survey project. The tables can be used either on their own to add new data or linked to a spatial layer, e.g. when linking multiple photos or records. They can be also used in value relation widgets.

We recommend using GeoPackage format to save your non-spatial table. With this format, you can collaboratively edit the data and track changes.
