Table in Rise 360 - no toolbar

Hi all!  I have never used a table before.  When I add it has 5 columns and I only need 3.  I know this should be really simple from what I read, but I get no toolbar when I hover or click anywhere in table.  I tried closing and reopening.  Can anyone help me?

  • I had this same problem yesterday. When I tried to select multiple cells, the table formatting toolbar would appear VERY briefly and then switch to the text formatting toolbar. Using Firefox as a browser solved the problem. Having to use a different browser for Rise 360 isn't ideal but it works.

      Hi MarkLonergan-8d

      Thanks for reaching out! I see that DavidMaddocks-f shared a helpful article on formatting tables for your reference! 

      I want to confirm that the toolbar is expected to shift  depending on what you select in your Table Block. Selecting the text in a table cell will bring up the main toolbar. When you select cells with the shift/arrow keys or with a mouse drag it will bring up the table toolbar. 

      • You mentioned that you are seeing the toolbar change from the formatting toolbar to the text toolbar in your table block in one browser but not in Firefox. What keyboard functionality are you using to select multiple cells? 
      • I understand Firefox is behaving differently than your main browser when selecting multiple cells. What browser are you currently seeing this in? Do you notice a change if you clear your browser's cache?


      It would be helpful to see a screen recording of this change in toolbars to understand your situation further. Feel free to share in this thread or privately in a support case.

      Looking forward to hearing from you! 

  • I've been using Tables in Articulate Rise for years without issue, however I'm now having the same problem as you. The table toolbar is not appearing in any of my tables - both existing and new ones and across different courses.

      I am having this same issue 4months after this original post.  I originally thought it was due to trying to add/amend a table in a previously created course - however it is also happening when creating a new table - either by using insert table or using the table available in the block library.  I have tried every trick in the trade including those mentioned and still unable to get the toolbar to appear.  Super Frustrating! anyone else have any solutions posed directly from Rise?

        Hi TaraViolo​!

        I'm sorry to hear the formatting toolbar is not appearing in Rise 360. That shouldn't be happening!

        Testing the behavior on my end, with Google Chrome, the toolbar appeared as expected, when highlighting multiple table cells. Are you experiencing this issue across all supported browsers? Also, does clearing your browser's cache make any improvement?

        Let me know how it goes!

      Sorry to hear that Jeanne 🙁!  I just had the one small 3x2 table to adjust and kept trying periodically probably 50 times.  Finally, one of the tries worked.  I won't be using table again.  I hope yours straightens out.

    Select the two columns you want to delete and the table toolbar will appear.
