- Star: It allows you to highlight a row. You can highlight multiple rows. Highlighted rows can have different colors.
- Plus: Creates a copy of the row.
- Trashcan: Deletes the row.
- Up arrow: Moves the selected row one row up.
- Down arrow: Moves the selected row one row down.
The trash can icon allows you to remove a column, and the plus icon adds a column.
