When blocks and blocks of text just don't cut it, try tables instead — they're a simple, lightweight way to add some structure and organization to your posts! ⚡
Inserting tables
To insert a table, hit / and type Table.
Editing tables
You can edit your tables to add more rows or columns — no need to adjust cell size, as that will happen automatically as you type!
To add more rows:
- Click within the table
- Hover to the left of a cell in the column furthest to the left
- Click the + on the top to add a row above the cell
- Click the + on the bottom to add a row below the cell
To add more columns:
- Click within the table
- Hover above a cell in the top row
- Click the + on the left to add a column to the left of the cell
- Click the + on the right to add a column to the right of the cell
To remove a column or row:
- Click the rectangle next to or above the row or column you want to delete (this will select the row or column)
- Once the row or column is selected, hit Delete
Deleting tables
Use these steps to delete a table:
- Click inside the table
- Click the circle in the top-left corner (this will select the entire table)
- Hit Delete
Inserting tables from Google Sheets and Airtable
If you need more editing and formatting options for your tables — like adjusting the width or height, inserting line breaks or bullets, or merging cells — it might help to use our Google Sheets or Airtable integrations instead. These tables are fully customizable, right within Slab!
To embed from Google Sheets or Airtable, just paste in a link to the table.
