How do I create and edit tables in Elsa?

Our table editor lets you create tables directly in the write space.

Click the ‘Insert Table’ button in the toolbar to create a table outline with as many rows and columns as you need. Use the table builder toolbar to edit the table.

For example, the table toolbar includes Row and Column buttons with options to insert, delete, or select rows and columns. You can move rows and columns in the table, change table width, insert headers, and merge or split cells. Hover over a button on the toolbar to see what it does.

How to adjust table width:

1. Click into any cell on the table
2. Click on the Set table width icon on the table editor toolbar

3. Select responsive, manual adjust or fit page
