Where they talk about it

Quotes

  • 2:40 "In the past that the table builder would would just allow you to put a table in, but now you can go back" - States the concrete change in the table builder: editing existing tables.

Caveats mentioned

  • The table builder was in preview in wave one; this video does not state a GA status

Prerequisites mentioned

  • An existing table already added to the document

Documented features match

  • No documented item matched. Not documented
  • Product documentation (partial, the article describes the broader feature or mentions this in passing): Design report layouts with the Business Central Word add-in, checked 2026-10-02. The Insert table action creates the table, repeater, and field controls from one dialog. Note: Documents creating a table only; editing an existing table definition through the wizard is not described. The 2026 wave 1 release plan covers Insert Table in preview (earlier wave).

Docs checked on 2026-10-02: the match is against Microsoft's what's new pages for the wave as they were on that date. Microsoft keeps filling the documentation, so "no documented item" can go stale.
