In edit mode:

1. Create a table by clicking the table icon in the editor toolbar at the top or using the keyboard shortcut (shift + option + T).
2. To modify the default table, visit Table options in the table toolbar that appears beneath the table to remove a header row, add a header column, or add a numbered column.
3. Add a row by hovering over the grey dots that appear next to the table’s left side. The dot will turn into an option to “Insert row below” (control + option + down arrow). Click the + to add.
4. Add a column by hovering over the grey dots that appear above the table. The dot will turn into an option to “Insert column right” (control + option + right arrow). Click the + to add.
5. Delete a row or column by highlighting it entirely (drag your mouse across, or click the leftmost edge or topmost edge,) then clicking the X that appears to the left or at the top.
6. Merge cells by highlighting them, then clicking Cell options at any cell’s top-right corner and choosing Merge cells.
7. In the table toolbar, click the “Insert chart” button to create a line, bar, or pie chart, then explore formatting and data source options.
8. Insert elements and macros inside table cells, such as action items ([ ]), status lozenges (/status), and Jira issues (/jira).
9. Use our quick widths to avoid a cramped table. Use the width icon that appears next to the table’s top right corner. Click the icon again to switch between options.
