Drag & Drop Rows & Columns

In the Drag & Drop builder, the column letters above the table and the row numbers beside it are handles: use them to select, add, move, copy and remove whole columns and rows. You can also merge cells together. The add bar, Merge and Split work in Desktop preview only; in Tablet and Mobile preview they are hidden.

Add rows and columns

Below the table, the add bar has two split buttons:

• Add Row adds a row at the bottom. The arrow beside it lets you choose At The Top or At The Bottom.
• Add Column adds a column on the right. The arrow beside it lets you choose On The Left or On The Right.

Select a column or row

Click a column letter (A, B, C…) or a row number (1, 2, 3…) to select the whole column or row. The Settings tab then shows its color and size options. See Cell Settings.

The column and row menus

Each letter and number has a small chevron button beside it. Click the chevron to open the menu. The menu header names what it belongs to, such as Column A.

The column menu:

• Insert Before A / Insert After A: add a column next to this one (the letter changes with the column).
• Add At Table Start / Add At Table End: add a column at the far left or far right of the table.
• Move Column Left / Move Column Right: shift the column one place.
• Duplicate Column: copy the column with its content.
• Remove Column

The row menu has the same options for rows:

• Insert Before Row 3 / Insert After Row 3: next to this row (the number changes with the row).
• Add At Table Start / Add At Table End: at the very top or bottom of the table.
• Move Row Up / Move Row Down: shift the row one place.
• Duplicate Row
• Remove Row

Move items that cannot go further, such as Move Column Left on column A, are greyed out.

If a row or column you remove holds merged cells, their content moves into the neighboring cell.

Move rows and columns

Use Move Column Left / Right or Move Row Up / Down from the menu, or drag a column letter left or right, or a row number up or down, to move the whole column or row. To move a single element instead, drag it by the grip on its chip to another cell.

Merge and split cells

Merge joins cells across columns (colspan) or down rows (rowspan). The cells together must form a solid rectangle, so cells next to each other with no gaps.

Merge by clicking cells:

1. Click Merge in the canvas toolbar. The toolbar reads "Click The Cells To Merge".
2. Click each cell you want to join. The toolbar counts them: "1 Cell Picked, Click Another", then "3 Cells Picked".
3. Click Merge 3 Cells (the number matches your picks), or press Enter. To back out, click Cancel or press Esc.

If the picked cells don't form a rectangle, the toolbar says "These Cells Do Not Form A Rectangle" and the merge button stays off until you fix the selection.

Merge a selection you already made: click a cell, hold Shift and click the others, then click Merge. With two or more cells already selected, it merges right away.

Split undoes a merge. Select the merged cell and click Split. It stays off until a merged cell is selected.

Row height and column width

Select the row or column, then set the size in Cell Settings.

Click Save to keep your changes.

Why is Merge not doing anything when I click it?

With fewer than two cells selected, Merge starts merge mode instead. Click the cells you want to join, then click the merge button in the toolbar.

Why can't I use Merge, Split or Add Row on Tablet or Mobile?

These tools are hidden in Tablet and Mobile preview. Switch the preview width back to Desktop to edit.

Why is Split greyed out?

Split only works on a merged cell. Select the merged cell first.
