actualNoteContentPart: ### Full-width tables and scrollable tables
  The other way to adjust the widths of columns is by toggling between a left-aligned table and a **full-width table**:
  
  
  This button is on the regular toolbar, not in the floating Table Toolbar that appears when making a cell selection.
  
  
  Here is what the **default** table looks like:
  
  | I am part of a **left-aligned** table (the default). | Column #2 ends here. | 
  |  |  | 
  
  And here's a **full-width** table looks like:
  
  | I am part of a **full-width** table. | Column #2 extends to the end of the page. | 
  |  |  | 
  
  When converting to a full-width table, columns that weren't assigned a custom width will extend to cover the page:
  
  **Default** table:
  
  | A column with custom width | Custom width #2 | Free column | 
  |  |  |  | 
  
  Converted **full-width** table:
  
  | A column with custom width | Custom width #2 | Free column | 
  |  |  |  | 
  
  When converting to a full-width table where all the columns have custom widths, they will be resized while maintaining their relative sizes:
  
  **Default **table:
  
  | Column with custom width | Slightly smaller | Smaller | Small | 👌 | 
  |  |  |  |  |  | 
  
  Converted **full-width** table:
  
  | Column with custom width | Slightly smaller | Smaller | Small | 👌 | 
  |  |  |  |  |  | 
  
  ### Applying cell background colors
  
  
  
  
  
  Cell background colors work just like [Changing text font color](#Changing_text_font_color) : Choosing a custom color will preserve it no matter what, while picking from the preset colors will have the effect of changing the color based on the choice of dark/light mode:

  ## Removing formatting from a cell
  To quickly remove formatting from a cell, use the corresponding icon in the Table Toolbar:
  
  
  "Clear cell formatting" will remove text color, cell color, text alignment and border additions.
  
  
  # Smart column sorting
  Whenever possible, Amplenote detects the contents of your tables, tries to deduce their type and will let you sort them in ascending/descending order, based on the sorting mechanism that was identified.
  
  
  Press once to sort in ascending order, press again to sort in descending order.
  
  
  💡 Amplenote automatically detects your header row if you:
  Apply a different background color;
  Apply a different font text color;
  [Use a different "type" of data in the header row]() ;
  [Include numbers in your data rows]() . 
  
  # 📌 Use cases for tables
  As of the end of October 2022, the plan for the next iteration of tables is to support formulas! After that patch, tables will be considerably more powerful in Amplenote and will support advanced use cases such as Budget Planning, Expense Tracking, Workout Tracking, etc.
  
  For now, consider using tables for:
  Organizing large sets of related data, such as company employees, inventory, concert set lists, etc.
