Footnotes and layout/columns
We have an annual report with the layout design is a mix of 2 and 4 columns. However, when we use the automatic footnote function (e.g., in inline tables), this is a default 1 column setup - with no possibility to change to 2+ columns. This makes the footnote sometimes misaligned/misplaced and not straight-forward to read.
Are there any ways to fix this?

Automatic footnotes in Workiva always render at the bottom of the page in a single-column format. There is currently no native option to change the footnote column layout (e.g., to 2+ columns) or to place them directly under a specific table or in a specific column. This is a known limitation, with an active feature request in place.I've included some workarounds below:Option 1: Manual Footnotes via Superscript
Instead of using the automatic footnote feature, manually create footnotes using the Superscript option:
1. Double-click into the table cell
2. Enable the Superscript option
3. Add the superscript/footnote number in the cell
4. Repeat to add the matching superscript below the table
5. Unselect superscript and write the footnote text normallyNote: Superscript only works in cells containing text — it does not work in cells with numbers only.Option 2: Mix Auto + Manual Footnotes
Use automatic footnotes where they work well, and manually create footnotes (via superscript) for table-specific entries that need to appear in a specific location or column.
