Step by step it will then be rolled out to many more areas across ChurchTools\u2014making it even easier and more consistent to edit your content.<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you create a page in the wiki or write a new post , you\u2019ll be using our text editor. Depending on whether you\u2019re using the ChurchTools website or the app, the editor offers a customized set of features. Here, we\u2019ll explain how to insert elements such as tables, images, or divider lines into your text.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Inserting and Editing Tables<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Click the table icon or enter the <code>\/<\/code> and select <em><strong>Table<\/strong><\/em> . By default, the editor inserts a table with three columns and three rows. The first row is set as the header row. A table always spans the entire width of the page.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you hover your mouse over the last column or row in the <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.churchtools.academy\/en\/help\/my-churchtools\/formatting-and-mentioning-with-the-editor\/editor-what-views-are-available\/\">preview<\/a>, sidebars with a plus sign will appear. By clicking the plus sign, you can quickly and easily create a new column or row. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/staging.churchtools.academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Text-editpr_insert-table.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1170\" height=\"194\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.churchtools.academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Text-editpr_insert-table.png\" alt=\"Screenshot Text editor insert table\" class=\"wp-image-89486\" style=\"aspect-ratio:6.030581039755352;width:562px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.churchtools.academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Text-editpr_insert-table.png 1170w, https:\/\/staging.churchtools.academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Text-editpr_insert-table-300x50.png 300w, https:\/\/staging.churchtools.academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Text-editpr_insert-table-1024x170.png 1024w, https:\/\/staging.churchtools.academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Text-editpr_insert-table-768x127.png 768w, https:\/\/staging.churchtools.academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Text-editpr_insert-table-360x60.png 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1170px) 100vw, 1170px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If, on the other hand, you hover over the first row or column, a gray bar with three dots will appear. You can drag the bar with your mouse to easily move the column or row.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you click on the bar, the column or row menu will open. Here, you can delete or add columns and rows and adjust the alignment of columns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the app, simply tip your finger on a cell to open the spreadsheet menu, which lets you edit it further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/staging.churchtools.academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Text-editor_table_spreadsheet-menu.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1164\" height=\"410\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.churchtools.academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Text-editor_table_spreadsheet-menu.png\" alt=\"Screenshot Text editor table spreadsheet menu\" class=\"wp-image-89489\" style=\"aspect-ratio:2.8389443570373194;width:564px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.churchtools.academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Text-editor_table_spreadsheet-menu.png 1164w, https:\/\/staging.churchtools.academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Text-editor_table_spreadsheet-menu-300x106.png 300w, https:\/\/staging.churchtools.academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Text-editor_table_spreadsheet-menu-1024x361.png 1024w, https:\/\/staging.churchtools.academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Text-editor_table_spreadsheet-menu-768x271.png 768w, https:\/\/staging.churchtools.academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Text-editor_table_spreadsheet-menu-360x127.png 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1164px) 100vw, 1164px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the way, you can use the <strong>Tab key<\/strong> to quickly move from cell to cell. Pressing <strong>Shift+Tab<\/strong> moves you back one cell. If you press <strong>Tab<\/strong> in the rightmost cell of the last row, you&#8217;ll immediately jump to the first cell of a new row.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also use the following characters in <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.churchtools.academy\/en\/help\/my-churchtools\/formatting-and-mentioning-with-the-editor\/editor-what-views-are-available\/\">the source code<\/a> to create or edit a table.
