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.

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.
Is there a maximum table size in Rise?
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. :-)
Can you change the width of a column?
Yes, I had to close the Rise course and reopen, this corrected the problem.
Thanks,

Hello, Rhea! Yes, you can change the width of a column in a Rise 360 table. Simply click and drag the column edge, show below.
i have closed the course several times but i still can't delete a selected column. When i select the column and click the delete button in the open tool box it deletes everything!
Hi Millie,
Click inside the column you want to delete.
Then click on the column tool (3 vertical lines), and select Delete column.
Same thing happens to me, I suppose it is a glitch in the matrix...the block is very buggy so I just stop using that block.
Thanks for the screenshot, Karl! Really helpful.
Millie, as Karl shows in his image above, make sure you're clicking on the column option first, and not the trash can icon in that first menu. If you're still having trouble, you can reach out to us here and we'll work one on one with you!
Hi. One workaround I found was that I deleted all the text in the columns I didn't want, and then closed the webpage. Once I reopened the webpage, the empty columns were gone.
The buttons for columns and rows look like they are vertical and horizontal alignment buttons, I don't think it's a good design choice. But you may be seeing them without realizing what they are! That's what happened to me.
hi i can't seem to delete or add any column or rows to the table.
Hi SCD TP,
If you look at the image directly above your post. using the two circled icons, you can add and delete columns and rows using their drop-down options.
When I'm clicking inside a cell, I'm and hovering over the column option - the drop down does not show up
Sometimes the table editor stops working.
Close Rise 360.
Re-open the lesson, and the table editor should work again..
