Update: Tables in Exercise Templates

Updated this week

What’s new?

We’ve released a long-awaited update: you can now create and edit tables inside templates — including tables with gaps. This makes your materials more structured and your tasks more varied and flexible.


Where can I find tables?

Tables are available in the new Exercise Builder. You can add them to your materials and textbooks in the following templates:

  • Drag the word to the gap

  • Enter the word in the gap

  • Select the word for the gap

  • Text

  • Article

  • Note


How to create a table

Open the new Exercise Builder and choose a template.

Click the “+” at the beginning of a new line.

Select Create Table.

You can add as many rows and columns as you need.
To do this, hover over the right or bottom edge of the table and click the “+”.

You can also add rows or columns using the editing menu.

To change the width of columns, drag the circular handle left or right.

Delete unnecessary rows or columns by clicking X.
Clicking the trash icon removes the entire table.


How to edit a table

Editing text inside a table works just like editing normal text. Select text with your cursor or double-tap a word.

All standard text formatting tools are available: bold, italics, underline, strike-through, highlight, and text color.

For Drag the word to the gap / Enter the word in the gap / Select the word for the gap, you can edit gaps exactly the same way as before.

Note: The Pro mode (advanced mode) does not support tables. If your exercise includes a table, edit it in the regular mode.


Where tables can be useful

Our Edvibe course designers share a few examples of how tables can help structure exercises.

Explaining rules and patterns

For example, you can use a guided discovery approach: students analyse examples and choose the correct rule. This helps them notice the structure more effectively.

Listening/reading practice

Students listen or read and fill in the missing information directly into the table.

Planning and flowcharts

Use tables for writing plans, flowcharts, or essay outlines.

Assessment and reflection

Checklists, error logs, spaced repetition plans — all of these can work well in table format.


Tables are now available — and they make lesson creation more structured and flexible.
