SI Editor Table Menu - Insert 

This command can also be executed from the SI Editor's Table's Right-click menu.

The Insert command provides the capability to insert tables, rows, and columns in new or existing tables. Tables are a powerful tool for organizing and displaying data in your section.

In the event of an error, click outside the table and use the Undo (Ctrl+Z) command.  To learn more, see the Table Tips and Tricks topic.
