Table element in the Editor

Overview of the Table element in the GetAccept Editor and how it's used to organize content into rows and columns.

Overview

The Table element allows you to organize information into rows and columns directly in the GetAccept Editor. It's useful for presenting structured text-based content such as feature lists, schedules, or simple comparisons. You can also style your tables to make them easier to read, by setting cell background colors, customizing border colors and line styles, and merging cells.


What the Table element is best used for

Use the Table element when you want to:

  • Structure text into rows and columns

  • Present simple information in a grid format

  • Organize details like timelines, inclusions, or notes


What the Table element is not designed for

For pricing, product line items, discounts, or totals, use the Pricing Table feature instead.

Pricing tables are designed specifically for structured pricing and calculations.


Editing table content

All table settings live in a single table menu. Select the table and open the menu from the table icon in the editor toolbar to reach every row, column, merge, and styling control in one place.

When you insert a table, it fills the full width of your content by default. From there you can:

  • Add rows and columns exactly where you need them (above, below, left, or right) clicking on the handles on the left and top edges of each row and column.

  • Use the row and column handles to work with a whole line: click a handle to select the entire row or column and move, insert, or delete it; drag a handle to reorder the row or column.

  • Select several rows or columns and delete them all in one go.

  • Enter and format text inside table cells.

  • Resize columns.

  • Merge and unmerge cells (merge all, merge horizontally, or merge vertically), for example to create a single banner across the top of a table.

  • Move, lock, or delete the table like other elements.


Formatting and styling

Text inside table cells supports:

  • Text formatting (bold, italic, underline)

  • Text color

  • Text styles (Display, Heading, normal text, and more)

  • Lists and alignment

  • Links and merge tags

You can also style the table itself:

  • Set a background color for any individual cell, or select multiple cells first to color a whole row or column at once

  • Customize table borders: choose which borders to apply to (outer, inner, or a specific side), then set the color, thickness, and line style (solid or dashed)

  • Set the vertical alignment of cell content

You'll find all of these in the table menu, along with quick styles like Top row background and Striped table.


When to use other elements instead

Depending on your goal:

  • Use Pricing Tables for prices and totals

  • Use Columns for responsive layout structures

  • Use Text or Image & Text for flexible content blocks
