The responsive layout uses the <strong>Heading Labels<\/strong> in the popover for each row. If <strong>Striped Rows<\/strong> is enabled, the cards will alternate like in the 2nd example below:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-56101\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boldgrid.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/responsive-table-design.png\" alt=\"Responsive Table Design\" width=\"368\" height=\"525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.boldgrid.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/responsive-table-design.png 368w, https:\/\/www.boldgrid.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/responsive-table-design-210x300.png 210w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 368px) 100vw, 368px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-56103 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boldgrid.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/responsive-striped-table-e1660755753110.png\" alt=\"Striped Responsive Table Design\" width=\"374\" height=\"520\"><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"change-table-column-width\">Change Table Column Width<\/h2>\n<p>To change the width of a column, hover between columns until you see the drag arrows. Click and drag to the desired width, like shown below:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-56106\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boldgrid.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/column-width.gif\" alt=\"Change Table Column Width\" width=\"1024\" height=\"220\"><\/p>\n<p>After you drag and drop the column, percentages will flash on the screen for a few seconds so you can get them equal. If your rows become too tall you can also drag and drop them smaller as needed.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"individual-cell-control\">Individual Cell Control<\/h2>\n<p>To hide an individual cell on certain devices, click the Orange popover and then Cell Control. In the Responsive Utilities panel, check the box for each device you want the cell hidden on. Many comparison tables have the very first cell empty. We recommend hiding that cell in responsive views to improve the design.<\/p>\n<p>You can also use the individual cell controls to add borders to achieve your desired design.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-56098\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boldgrid.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/cell-control.jpg\" alt=\"Individual Cell Controls\" width=\"230\" height=\"190\"> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-56099\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boldgrid.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/responsive-utilities-cell.png\" alt=\"Responsive Utilities\" width=\"364\" height=\"349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.boldgrid.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/responsive-utilities-cell.png 364w, https:\/\/www.boldgrid.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/responsive-utilities-cell-300x288.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 364px) 100vw, 364px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 1.21.0 release of the Post and Page Builder includes a tool to create responsive table designs.
