How can I add a column *before* the first column in the new editor?

[mmquasar]

I'm able to add a column after the current column in the "new editing experience" but I can't find either a way to insert a new column before the first column nor it seems to be documented.

Any advice appreciated.

Hello mmquasar,

If you hover your mouse in the area above the column header of the first column, you should see a plus sign appear above the left edge of the column. Click that plus sign to insert a column.

I hope that helps you.

Hi Trudy, thank you for the helpful visual.

In fact the page in question seems to be broken in some way because the first '+' symbol does not appear while hovering the area numbered 2 in your picture.

Just to test it out I've created a new table and it works as suggested. Because I've originally copied the page which has been created with the former editor I suggest that during the migration to the new editor sth went wrong.

Anyway, I appreciate your effort!
