RemNote tables, like tables in any other note-taking app, display content in rows and columns. But in RemNote, they’re not just for formatting – they can also be used to collect related information from around your knowledge base, generate flashcards, and more.
Depending on your needs, you can choose between two types of tables: Simple Tables and Advanced Tables. Both support flashcard generation, text formatting, and bulk editing, but each has unique strengths depending on your workflow.
Tables are a RemNote Pro feature. Free users can create up to three tables in total (any mix of Advanced and Simple tables) to try the feature out.
Simple Tables
Simple Tables are standalone grids you can drop anywhere in your notes. They are ideal for quickly organizing data into rows and columns, whether you are building vocabulary lists, comparing concepts, or laying out structured information.
You can click inside any cell and start typing right away, and all of RemNote's standard formatting (bold, italics, highlights, LaTeX) works inside cells.
To learn how to create, edit, format, and import Simple Tables, see Simple Tables.
Advanced Tables
Advanced Tables let you manage structured information using the power of RemNote's tags and properties. Each row in an Advanced Table represents a tagged Rem, while each column corresponds to a property. This means the data in your table stays connected to your broader KB, so you can reference it, search it, and build on it across documents.
To learn how to create, edit, and automate Advanced Tables, see Advanced Tables. For sorting, filtering, and other display options, see Configuring Advanced Tables.
Converting Between Table Types
You can convert a Simple Table into an Advanced Table, or vice versa, at any time. To convert, click the gear icon (⚙) in the top-right corner of the table and select the conversion option.
Generating Flashcards from Tables
Both Simple and Advanced Tables support flashcard generation using RemNote's Concept/Descriptor Framework. You can turn any column into a set of flashcards with just a few clicks, and customize the card direction, add hints, enable type-in answers, and more.
For a complete guide to setting up and configuring table flashcards, see Generating Flashcards from Tables.
Keyboard Shortcuts
RemNote offers many keyboard shortcuts for working with both Simple and Advanced Tables. See Navigating Tables with the Keyboard for a full list.
