  2. Navigate to the Cash Flows page

  3. Click Edit on the upper right side of the screen

     

  4. Once the menu loads, you’ll want to select the cash flows table that is on the page already and scroll to the bottom of the page.

    1. Table properties - allows you to set different properties related to the style of the table.

    2. Delete table - removes the entire table

    3. Insert row before - adds a row in above whichever row you’re in

    5. Delete row - removes the row you’re in

    6. Insert column before - adds a column in to the left whichever column you’re in

    7. Insert column after - adds a column in to the right of whichever column you’re in

    8. Delete column - removes the column you’re in
