- Turn Off Rich Text Formatting. Samsung Notes app offers a vast collection of formatting.
- Apple Notes and Reminders are two of my most-used apps, and each has received significant updates in iOS and iPadOS 14. Though neither app’s improvements have been held up as tentpole features of this fall’s releases, Apple has nonetheless given noteworthy attention to making the user experience for each app better in a variety of key ways.
- Click on your cursor in the middle of any two columns (right in between the column title) that you'd like to resize and glide it along to change the column width. 😊 Note: It is currently not possible to resize the first column.
The process of adding a table in the Notes app on iOS 11 and macOS High is quite straightforward. Moreover, you can also rearrange columns, rows and even convert tablet to text.

As we are talking about Notes app, you would want to catch up with these posts:
1 Introduction
The layout grid is a widget that gives structure to your pages.
A layout grid consists of rows and columns:
In a browser, the layout grid is based on the Bootstrap grid system. For more information on the Bootstrap grid system, see the official Bootstrap documentation.
Row and column properties described below are available if your app has Atlas UI Resources version 2.4.0 or above.
For more information on row and column properties, see the Rows and Their Properties and Columns and Their Properties sections.
2 Layout Grid Properties
An example of layout grid properties is represented in the image below:
Layout grid properties consist of the following sections:
2.1 Common Section
For more information on properties in this section, see the Common Section section in Properties Common in the Page Editor.
2.2 Design Properties Section
The Design Properties allow you to change spacing and alignment of the widget and hide it on phone, tablet, or desktop, if needed. Design properties may vary depending on the type of the widget. For example, for the text widget you can change its font weight, color, alignment, and letter case.
2.3 General Section
2.3.1 Width
The General section contains the Width property, which determines the width of the layout grid.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| Full width | The layout grid spans the full width of the available space and will stretch and shrink. |
| Fixed width | The layout grid has a fixed width but it is still responsive to viewport changes. Note that the width is not configurable in Studio Pro but is determined by Bootstrap. |
As the layout grid responds to the viewport width, and not to the width of its container, a fixed width layout grid should only be used on top-level.
2.4 Visibility Section
Visibility determines whether a widget is displayed to the end-user as part of the page.
For more information on properties of this section, see the Visibility Section section in Properties Common in the Page Editor.
3 Rows and Their Properties
A layout grid can contain one or more rows. Each row contains columns and the number of columns can differ per row.
An example of layout grid row properties is represented in the image below:
Row properties consist of the following sections:
3.1 Common Section
For more information on properties in this section, see the Common Section section in Properties Common in the Page Editor.
3.2 General Section
The General section of a row contains the following properties:
Columns – sets the number of columns in the row
Align columns vertically – this property aligns all columns in a row vertically. You can select the following options:
Not set – alignment is not set
Top – columns are aligned to the top of the layout grid
Center – columns are aligned to the center of the layout grid
Bottom – columns are aligned to the bottom of the layout grid
This setting can be overridden by the Align vertically setting of an individual column.
- Spacing between columns – when set to Yes, adds spacing between columns
3.3 Visibility Section
Visibility determines whether a widget is displayed to the end-user as part of the page.
For more information on properties of this section, see the Visibility Section section in Properties Common in the Page Editor.
4 Columns and Their Properties
Columns form a row of a layout grid.
An example of layout grid column properties is represented in the image below:
Layout grid column properties consist of the following sections:
4.1 Common Section
For more information on properties in this section, see the Common Section section in Properties Common in the Page Editor.
4.2 General Section
4.2.1 Width
This property allows you to define the column width.
For web pages, it is divided into Desktop Width, Tablet Width,and Phone Width which allows you to define column width per device type.
For native pages, you will see one property called Width.
The Width property contains the following options:
- Auto-fill – takes the available space for a column (for example, if there is one column, it will span the column for the whole row, and for two columns, it will divide the space equally between them)
- Auto-fit content – automatically fits the size of the column to its content
- Manual – allows you to manually set the size of the columns
Column width can be used to make your layout more flexible and adaptive to different types of devices.
For example, you have a layout grid with one row and two columns: a picture is in one column, and a text with details is in another.
For the desktop and tablet, you might want to set the first column with a picture to Auto-fit content and and the second one to Auto-fill, this way the first column will adjust to the size of the picture, while the second one will take the rest of the row:
For phone, it can be a good idea to place two columns one under another, setting them to Manual width of 12 (for more information on the column size property, see the Size section). In this case, the second column will be automatically wrapped to another line:
On the picture below you can see the settings for two column described above:
4.2.2 Size
The Size option is displayed only if the width is set to Manual.
This setting allows you to manually set the column size for desktop, tablet, or phone by using the corresponding property: Desktop Size, Tablet Size, Phone Size.
4.2.3 Align Vertically
The Align vertically property overrides the Align columns vertically property on the row and sets alignment for an individual column.
