Tables can be a convenient way to organize some content, but it's important to format them so they fit in well with the rest of your website. One concern with tables is that they don't always respond well to mobile displays. This can mean that pages including tables may not be optimized for users on mobile devices. For this reason, only use tables when they can't be avoided and try to keep them relatively small. If a larger table is needed as a reference, consider uploading a spreadsheet and linking that within your content.

Please note that tables are not intended for use with Board of Directors or Committee Displays. Those types of content have purpose-built content sections within StarChapter that are more efficient to use and provide a more professional display.
