    This would be supremely beneficial. Tables are a natural part of note taking and information-organizing, and as @james-38  stated, tables are a powerful way of structuring one's thoughts.

    Notes, sermon docs, and in a new academic paper feature please!
  • There are various use cases for tables in notes. Tables are natural for many to structure their thoughts and make comments. For example, we want to keep notes on particular list of verses. If I use tabs to indent the text and later I make an entry which is longer, I have to re-indent all the lines which is tedious.
    Additional, the notes section should cater for HTML which includes tables, images and urls.
  • Having a table of data is an effective way to track and share beneficial information. 

    The justification and reason for tables seem self-evident. Tables allow for a more effective means of relaying 'complex' data in a manner that people can easily digest. 

    Data displayed side by side allows the reader to compare/contrast the information within a matter of seconds. 

    Biblical survey books frequently use tables to help the reader unravel the distinct differences or central themes in the data presented. Tables are an absolutely essential tool in education. Could you please develop this feature?

    Yes, please using word to create documents instead of in Notes tool
  • This would be handy for note taking and copying from resources to notes. (Currently have to take a picture of table and then lose any search or highlighting ability in notes)

  • I don't know why Logos doesn't have this yet!
  • Can we also add tables in Sermon Builder?

    Absolutely.  Went to add a table in a note this morning and was surprised it was not there.  Why has this been given such a low priority on the product roadmap?

    Absolutely.  Right now, I end up having two note files for everything I study.  One in Logos and one in OneNote for their tables.
  • Tables would be awesome!!!!

    would love that
  • Tables in notes would be the best solution, but an acceptable alternative might be a different kind of document that could be linked to a note.

    Also, allow each cell or row or column to have a background color spec.

    What a wonderful feature!  
  • The facility to create tables in Notes [atleast PC/Mac platforms, if not all platforms] would be really helpful in Bible study to structure, organize thoughts and information as well as aid in presentation. I am mostly using MS word/ Onenote to keep my notes in. Notes in logos is a very good tool but lack of essentials like table creation, headings etc pushes me to use MS word. In the past I have used WordSearch and I think its document features allowed tables.
  • Would be very helpful.
  • That would be helpful!

    Because of Anchors to Bible verses and resources, Logos Notes has amazing potential as a "second brain"/zettlekasten for biblical/theological studies. I recommend that the developers review tools like Notion or Evernote and implement at least the main basic features of those tools, including tables (even only HTML or MD would be a start), backlinking, expanding/collapsing sections, and folders/nesting/stacking within a notebook.  Notes is a great tool that can be even better.
  • Tables are helpful for organizing data and notes would be improved by supporting them.
  • This would be wonderful.

    Ability to create tables in Logos Notes would be a major feature enhancement. Especially helpful when comparing/contrasting information.  Would also help in the management and layout of screen snapshots in Notes.
  • That would be so great! Helps to get a good overview, helps with structuring.

    We can use a better way of adding the notes to  be more user friendly. Sometimes it's a little complicated to add notes to the actual lesson you're in... perhaps attach feature to the different guides menu. Hmmmm??

    If I want to display parallel texts to a pericope, among other things, it would be very clear to create these in a synoptic, i.e. tabular view, so that you have the texts next to each other and can evaluate them together in the overview. For me, it's a better representation than one below the other. So it would be excellent if you could do this in the specially compiled personal study aid and not in an external program.

    Perhaps there is already a text writing module on the market which could be integrated into Logos.

    Yes, just tried to do so and was suprised to find out I could not. 
  • Tables are really useful in Notes.
    At present I need to create a table, screenshot it and paste in as an image and put a hyperlink to the original in case I want to edit it. (Can’t just put the hyperlink because sometimes it can’t find external resources)
    Trying to copy a table from a resource doesn’t work - it just comes a s stream of data.  I need to insert a screenshot which means I often have to open the resource in a floating screen so I can zoom it in to the appropriate width, etc for the notes.
    Really need to be able to post tables in a way that the table rescales for the note pane width, as well as being able to Create table that automatically resize
