Tables in Documents

Last updated: May 2026


Storyflow Documents have a full table editor with merge, split, alignment, and right-click controls — capable enough to build comparison matrices, briefs, and structured specs without leaving the doc.

Inserting a Table

Use the block menu (or the table icon in the editor toolbar) to insert a table. Choose initial rows and columns; you can change them later.

Editing Cells

  • Click any cell to start typing
  • Tab moves to the next cell, Shift + Tab to the previous
  • Enter creates a new line inside the cell
  • Cells support rich text — bold, italic, links, lists, even other blocks

Table Toolbar

When your cursor is in a table, a table toolbar appears with:

  • Insert / delete rows above and below
  • Insert / delete columns to the left and right
  • Merge selected cells into one
  • Split a previously merged cell
  • Set row and column alignment

Right-click Menu

Right-click any cell for the same operations in a context menu — useful when you don't want to reach for the toolbar.

Overflow Handling

Tables with lots of content scroll cleanly within the document layout, with refined cell border handling so big tables stay readable.

Use Cases

  • Build a comparison matrix for vendors, options, or features
  • Structure a brief with field/value pairs
  • Document a spec sheet alongside long-form context
  • Track a changelog or decision log inline
