Table editing is difficult to do well. We want to do well.

• Allow users to add a new table and start adding content as quickly as possible.
• Allow users to edit the table in context, without having to go into lots of menus.

• 
  1. Selecting table from toolbar
• 
  2. User is given a 4x4 table with top row as header by default, and cursor in the 1st cell. Control in top left will allow a user to drag the table, or set table-level options
• 
  3. Hovering or clicking in a cell reveals controls for that row and column
• 
  4. When a user clicks one of those controls, more controls are revealed. They can add a row above or below, delete the row, or click the cog icon for more options
• 
  5. Hovering over a add row icon shows a darker blue line indication where the row will be
• 
  6. A user has added a new row
• 
  7. A user is editing a column and has clicked on the cog icon to see more options. The user can make it a header or make it sortable
• 
  8. A variation of column/row controls, in which all actions are in one dropdown menu

• 
  1. Selecting table from toolbar
• 
  2. User is given a 4x4 table with top row as header by default, and cursor in the 1st cell. The small bars on the top and left allow users to access table editing options.
• 
  3. Hovering on a row bar.
• 
  4. Clicking on a row bar. This shows an arrow indication.
• 
  5. Clicking on the arrow or any part of this bar opens the menu.
• 
  6. A user can click and drag to select multiple columns or rows. They can access a menu to edit those multiple columns
• 
  7. Clicking on just one column
