The Table tool drops a structured table onto your canvas. Use it for comparison matrices, project trackers, content calendars, or any structured data that needs rows and columns alongside your visual work.

Adding a Table

• Toolbar: Click the Table icon in the canvas toolbar and drag onto the board
• Keyboard shortcut: Hover the canvas and press R to drop a new table at the cursor

Editing Cells

Click any cell to start typing. Tab moves to the next cell, Shift+Tab to the previous, and Enter creates a new line inside the cell. Tables support rich text formatting in each cell (bold, italics, links, lists).

Column types

A column is not just text. Set its type from the column header menu and the cells change with it: Status, Person, Labels, Rating, Duration, Date & time, Currency, Percent, Number, Checkbox, URL, Email, Phone, and Document.

That is what lets a table be sorted and read at a glance, and what lets the AI extend a table sensibly instead of guessing what a column is for. See Table Column Types for the full list.

A document behind every row

The Document type gives a row its own full project document, opened from the row's first cell. The first column becomes the document's title, bound in both directions. See Table Row Documents.

Rows, Columns, and Merging

Use the table toolbar (visible while your cursor is in a cell) or right-click any cell to:

• Insert or delete rows above and below
• Insert or delete columns to the left and right
• Merge multiple selected cells into a single cell
• Split a previously merged cell back apart
• Set row or column alignment

AI Workflows in Tables

Tables work with the canvas AI chat just like other elements. Reference a table with an @mention and ask the AI to summarize it, fill in missing rows, generate next-step actions from the data, or convert it into a kanban board.

Document Tables

Tables also work inside Storyflow Documents with the same toolbar and right-click options. See the documents section of the help center for the document table editor experience.
