It would be so great to have the option to create larger tables in StoryMaps. We are using StoryMaps for some internal projects and would love to use the table function but our datasets can be around 20 - 30 rows. While we know that inserting images or embedding spreadsheets are an option as well, the matching aesthetic of the tables is something that we prefer. We also like to use the tables since we understand that they should be ADA accessible. Hoping that eventually there are options to support larger tables. Thank you for all you do!

If this were added, it would be nice too if there was a "paging" style option, similar to the Table widget in Experience Builder, or how the slideshow block works in StoryMaps, that would let the user tab laterally through additional pages of table records. Might help keep the story more compact and reduce the amount of scroll. 

Otherwise as a workaround in the meantime, @SarahKiefer you could create an Experience Builder app that is nothing but a table widget with your info, and then embed that app into your StoryMap.

@SarahKiefer -- Thanks for sharing your idea.

Related to @AaronKoelker's comment, would simply increasing the row limit work for you, or would other changes be needed to obtain the experience you're looking for? I'm wondering if for a table that large you would want the padding to be reduced in each cell to make it more compact?

Do you have any screenshots of examples of the larger tables you have added to other stories via image or embedding that you can share so we can get a better idea of your visual expectations?
