# Creating a table

There are several ways to add a new table to a document.

* Type `/table` on an empty line
* Paste a table from another app or website from your clipboard

# Managing rows

There are several ways to add new rows to your table.

* The easiest way to add a new row is to click the `⋅` that appears between the rows you want to insert.
* With an existing row selected you can use the `Add row below` or `Add row above` menu options
* With focus within a table row you can use the `Cmd` + `Enter` shortcut to insert a row below
* Drag and drop rows to easily move content

To *remove* rows you can select a row and click delete from the menu or use the keyboard shortcut `Cmd` + `Backspace` to remove a row.

# Managing columns

Adding and removing columns is similar to rows!

* The easiest way to add a new column is to click the `⋅` that appears between the column you want to insert.
* With an existing column selected you can use the `Add column before` or `Add column after` menu options
* Drag and drop columns to easily move content

You can resize individual columns by clicking and dragging the vertical border between them. You can also resize a table to extend to the page edges by selecting the table and then click the `Full width` button that appears in the toolbar.

# Headers

By default new tables get a “header” row, you can toggle this off by selecting the top row and from the floating menu choose the `Toggle header` option to have a table with no header. It’s also possible to select the left-most column and `Toggle header` to get a header column.

# Export

Tables can also be exported as a CSV, select the table with the circular control in the top left corner and then choose the option in the menu to `Download as CSV`.
