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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
We're glad it's working now, Doug! Thanks for the update.

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. :-)
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 Samantha! Sorry you're getting stuck! Try this:
Let me know if that solves it!
That worked! Thank you!
I was having this same issue, but this workaround worked for me too. Thanks!

I am currently having the same issue but that workaround did not work for me. I am still only seeing Settings, no Edit button.
Sheri, there is no Edit button for an existing table.
If you click anywhere within the table, the table toolbar appear that will allow you to edit the table.
If you select any text in the table, the text toolbar will appear that will allow text formatting.
Ah! I see now! I was trying to edit the number of columns and could not figure out how to do it. I was right clicking on the table. Thank you!
I am facing issues with table editing.. cell alignment and formatting issues.
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!

Hello, Manisha!
Check out this video demo I recorded for you. Hopefully that clears things up!

Can you delete columns in tables? I need only two columns. Thanks!
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!
Can you change the width of a column?
Yes, I had to close the Rise course and reopen, this corrected the problem.
Thanks,
*Doug Dillard*

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!
