Managing drivers in the table
Use + Add driver to add existing drivers or create a new driver directly in the block. To insert a driver near another driver, right-click a driver name or open its left-side menu, then select + Insert new driver above or + Insert new driver below. The shortcuts reference lists the keyboard shortcuts for inserting rows.
Removing a driver from the block does not delete it from Runway. It only removes that driver from this table. See Duplicating, removing & deleting for details.
Formatting drivers
Drivers retain their existing formatting when added to a table on a page. You can adjust color, text style, indentation, precision, and other formatting, but those changes apply globally wherever the driver appears. For more details, see Driver formatting.Time period rollups
