Add a comparison table to a Deal Room

About This Feature​

A Comparison table is a Deal Room section type for side-by-side data — pricing tiers, feature matrices, us-vs-them comparisons, or a plan breakdown. Cells take formatted rich text, and you can size columns and tint columns, rows, or individual cells to draw the eye where you want it.

Quick Start Guide​

1. Add the section​

In the Deal Room editor, add a new section and choose Comparison table.

2. Fill in the cells​

Click a cell and type. Cells accept rich text, so you can bold a plan name, add a link to a demo, or bullet a list of what's included.

Use Tab and the arrow keys to move between cells without reaching for the mouse.

3. Build out the grid​

Use Add row and Add column to extend the table, or right-click a cell for precise placement:

  • Insert row above / Insert row below
  • Insert column left / Insert column right
  • Move row up / Move row down
  • Move column left / Move column right
  • Delete row / Delete column

4. Size the columns​

Drag a column's edge (Resize column) to set its width. Columns you never touch size themselves to the content.

5. Add colour​

Apply a background colour to a column, a row, or a single cell. Where they overlap, the most specific one wins — a cell colour beats a row colour, and a row colour beats a column colour.

For a quick, readable table without picking colours cell by cell, turn on Striped rows for alternating row tints.

Reusing a Table Across Deal Rooms​

Comparison tables are one of the section types you can save to the Section Library — worth doing for a standard pricing table or competitive matrix, so every rep works from the same numbers and you can push a correction to every room at once.

Open the section's menu and choose Save to library.

FAQs​

Can I paste a table in from a spreadsheet? Build the grid with Add row / Add column and fill the cells. Paste content cell by cell rather than expecting a bulk paste to create the structure for you.

Can buyers edit the table? No. Comparison tables are authored content — viewers read them. For something both sides work on, use a Mutual Action Plan.

How wide can a column be? Columns resize within a sensible range so the table stays readable on smaller screens. If a column won't drag any further, it's at the limit.

Do the colours carry over when I save the table to the library? Yes. Column widths, background colours, and the striped-rows setting are stored with the section.

Can I comment on a comparison table? Yes — Deal Room comments work on sections, including this one, as long as comments are enabled for the room.
