So by adding rows you just designate how many rows a table should contain, while the rest of the settings are for columns.

For example, here is what you can change:

  • Choose a content type to display in a column: a plain title, text or an Elementor template (the latter is available in Stratum PRO only).
  • You can accompany titles with icons or images; opting for a text, you can apply basic formatting and upload media files; and you can integrate entire Elementor templates into the table body, either default or your custom ones (the latter is available in Stratum PRO only).
