Board table support is split into model and UI packages. Register both packages in browser editors that need editable table elements on the Board canvas.

## Register table support

```ts
import { UniverBoardsTablePlugin } from '@univerjs-pro/boards-table'
import { UniverBoardsTableUIPlugin } from '@univerjs-pro/boards-table-ui'
import BoardsTableUIEnUS from '@univerjs-pro/boards-table-ui/locale/en-US'

import '@univerjs-pro/boards-table/facade'
import '@univerjs-pro/boards-table-ui/lib/index.css'

univer.registerPlugin(UniverBoardsTablePlugin)
univer.registerPlugin(UniverBoardsTableUIPlugin)
```

## Package responsibilities

* `@univerjs-pro/boards-table` integrates table elements with the Board model.
* `@univerjs-pro/boards-table-ui` adds table rendering and editing UI on the Board canvas. It also provides `@univerjs-pro/boards-table-ui/locale/*` and `@univerjs-pro/boards-table-ui/lib/index.css` for browser editors.

## Snapshot data

A Board table element stores a `tableId` and common Board element fields. The table payload is managed by the table plugin and referenced through Board resources.

```ts
const table = board.insertTable({
  left: 120,
  top: 120,
  width: 480,
  height: 280,
  rows: 3,
  columns: 4,
})
if (!table) throw new Error('Cannot insert Board table')
```

Register table support before opening snapshots that contain `table` elements.

## Stable table colors

When a Board table is inserted or its style changes, the plugin stores the resolved theme palette with that table. Existing tables keep their colors after the global Univer theme changes; selecting another table style creates a new table-owned theme snapshot.
