A table is an editable grid for the parts of a diagram that are easier to read as rows and columns: a comparison, a schedule, a small data set, a legend. It lives on the canvas like any other element, so you can place, resize, recolour, group, and move it freely.
Adding one
Click Add table. A small grid (3 × 3 to start) drops onto the canvas.
Double-click any cell to type. Move between cells as you would expect and the table grows to fit your text.
Editing the grid
Add or remove rows and columns as your content changes, so you are never stuck with the starting size. The table is a real canvas element underneath, so its colours follow the active theme, and you can restyle, group, and align it alongside everything else.
Reach for a table when a cluster of shapes is really just rows and columns, a single grid stays tidier and is far quicker to edit.
