Can't Edit Table in Rise
Is anyone able to edit a table in rise? I am able to insert a table and the editing box shows up when I highlight a column or row, but I am unable to click any of the buttons in the editing box.

Can you change the width of a column?
Yes, I had to close the Rise course and reopen, this corrected the problem.
Thanks,

Hi Joanne!
The table does have a fixed width. If you add more columns, each column will shrink to fit inside the table.
There is no restriction on the height, so you can add as many rows as you like!
Thanks, that helps :-)
TIP: One thing that made tables MUCH easier for me while working remotely was to create the table in Word and then copy and paste it into rise on a paragraph block. The block converts immediately to a table block... then all you need to do is tidy up colors and tweak column width, etc. That fixed all the freezing and delays. I hope that helps others. :-)
Is there a maximum table size in Rise?
Hi Claudia,
Yes you can delete columns.
Click inside the column in the table that you want to delete.
Clicking will display the table editor toolbar.
Click on the icon with the 3 vertical lines.
Choose to delete the current column.
Can you delete columns in tables? I need only two columns. Thanks!
Hi Doug! Sorry to hear you're getting stuck. Would you be able to share a short screen recording with me so I can get a better idea of what you're seeing?
Perhaps I needed to reboot my computer because it seems to be working this
morning. I knew that it should not be so difficult to add/remove table
columns and rows.Thank you,

Thank you for the video; It helps explain the process. However, this feature is not working for me. When I click the icon to remove the 5th column as shown in your demonstration, nothing happens. I've closed out of my Chrome browser Version 84.0.4147.89 (Official Build) (64-bit). Logged back into Rise 360, and reopened my course, but still, nothing happens when I click the icon to delete the column.
Hello, Manisha!
Check out this video demo I recorded for you. Hopefully that clears things up!
This was very helpful! Thank you!
It let me click in the column, but no options were coming up when I clicked in that little toolbar. I closed out and went back in and it worked. Thank you!
Hello Alyssa,
Thank you for the video. It is super helpful!
Best,

Hello Alyssa, I am trying to sue a table for the first time in Rise. When I pick the table option from the text block, automatically 5 columns are selected. I want just 2. The settings section doesn't show anyway to edit it. What am I missing?
Manisha,
Yes, by default, Rise creates a table with 5 columns, 2 rows and a header row.
There is no Edit button for a table.
Simply click anywhere inside the table, and the table toolbar will appear that allows you to edit the table. You can add and delete rows and columns, format the table, etc.
If you select any text in the table, the text toolbar will appear that will allow text formatting.
I am too facing the same issue. I need only 3 columns. Rise table by default has 5 columns. On the Table toolbar there is a delete icon button, but it deletes the entire table. I only seek a table with 3 columns. Please help me as to how can I delete the extra columns from the table. Thank you.
Hello, Aparna! Happy to help you. Would you mind sharing a screenshot so I can get a better idea of what's going on? Thanks!
