More improvements to tables in docs - BIG TIME
planned
A
Arek
It looks like tables in docs have been slightly improved - https://clickup.canny.io/feature-requests/p/improve-tables-in-docs-big-time.
However, still big improvements are needed:
* Background color
* Header formatting
* More column width control
* Cell merging
* Center align tables
* They still look ugly
* ... I could go on and on
At the very least implement something like Typora has - more control, more formatting options and rendering is quite good for markdown tables.

Hi everyone, I’m Bryan, the new Head of Docs.
We’ve rebuilt Tables from the ground up to be more reliable and unlock a ton of new possibilities. While these aren’t databases (and won’t be), our goal is to make them best-in-class for structuring content.
The new Tables include:
- Slash command support
- Rich media: GIFs, images, videos, and URL previews
- Quick-format menus for rows and columns
I’m looking for at least 10 passionate users to try out the beta and, a week later, join me for a quick 30-minute chat about your experience.
If you’re interested, just reply to this thread and I’ll get you set up.

Bryan Lovgren I'm up for beta'ing

Bryan Lovgren yes. Just had a client screw up table format so would love to see if this could now be avoided and also recovered.

Ryan MacAlmon
Bryan Lovgren I would be interested in beta testing.
When you say "and Won't be" can you elaborate a bit more? Personally, I would like to see them act more like Coda.io tables
Michael
Oh lord….. just have one question for you Bryan Lovgren ….
Can you please explain what in hell is a sub doc, a sub page and why it is better than traditional sectioning?

Bryan Lovgren yasssssss!!!
Love the clarity and criteria of passion 👌
Love to get my user testing on, but I’m kinda across the other side of the globe, so please only sing out if chatting with an Aussie (time zone) can work 😁

Bryan Lovgren very interested - Docs are the #1 reason we moved to ClickUp.

Vincent DAmico
Bryan Lovgren any update on this? Just checking to make sure I’m not missing anything.
Enhanced table visualizations would be a huge improvement for ClickUp and beyond. I use every single little bit to help with adoption. I’d also say that Docs need the ability to translate seamlessly into the inner clickup & outside world, especially in PDF format.
It’s great to see the incredible progress already being made and pushing boundaries.
I assume there’s usually another step or form to sign up for something like this, beyond just responding to Canny comments. Excited to see what you and your team have been working on! Any timeline on when the beta start?
Benjamin Wettlaufer
Bryan Lovgren Very interested!

The new tables are now live in your accounts (if you've replied to this thread). I recommend hard refreshing your ClickUp tab or web app (cmd+r / ctrl + r). If you want to double-check that tables are turned on:
1.create a table
- click into a cell
- type / to access the slash command menu within the cell
Next steps:
• Please schedule a follow up chat with me to discuss your experience with the new tables:
Note : You can book a time between Aug 18th and 26th to meet with me

I actually am on my personal canny account for Clickup outside of my organization. Can you please turn it on for our space vincent.damico@t2t.org Just set my appointment for next Friday! Thank you.
Bryan Lovgren
Ryan MacAlmon: Happy to share a bit more context. The new tables were architected on the backend specifically to structure content really well. We focused on making them excellent for that purpose, which meant making some technical decisions that limit their ability to evolve into full database tables.

Compatability with doc Tables & excel is so frustrating!
Expecially in dark mode, the text color is imported as black instead of "default" so i cant see anything & i cant edit it more than 1 cell at a time. Makes my hole table useless.

Please, back to previous version [ RETURN] = MOVE TO NEW LINE. Currently, [ Shift + return] = Move to new line too hard for me. It was changed my habit behavior.

Please add wrapping text in table mode, this is so inconvenient to see the text this way, I have to click on it. I decided to go back to Notion because of this

Ai in docs does not recognize tables. If you highlight a table the high won’t work. This needs fixed.
M
Moayad Mithal
when having long questions or answers part of the content will be cut, the tables are not auto justified for user to see the content, user have to hover the pointer waiting for the pop up message to read all the content, this is not user friendly
