Layout and spacing
Choose a table density that fits how readers need to review the information.
One theme for each reading context
Default is the balanced starting point. Compact reduces row height, cell padding, and font size to fit more data on screen. Comfortable gives cells more space for a calmer reading view.

Compact

Tip
Judge a theme with real table data. Very compact spacing helps daily operational work, but can make long text harder to read.
Example: review project status faster
A PMO tracks many tasks across several projects.
- Before
- In the default view, reviewers scroll through a long list even though their daily check mainly compares status and next steps.
- With Compact
- The team chooses Compact as the Table theme. More tasks fit on screen, while values, filters, and calculations remain unchanged.
