Can you split cells in a table in the new pages like you could in the old pages?

In the older Pages for Mac I was able to select a cell and split it into two without having to add a new column and merge the new column with all the other rows. Did Apple take this away in this new Pages for Mac? That was such a convenient function when working with existing tables.

The current versions of Pages or Numbers in the Mac App Store do not offer a split cell feature. If you need this capability, then you should be using MS Word, Excel, the free LibreOffice Suite, or stick with Pages '09 v4.3 on macOS Mojave or earlier.


The last version of Pages that allowed Split into Columns was Pages '09 v4.3 which was no longer supported after an upgrade to macOS Monterey. Apple's Pages applications that represent the rewrite from Oct 2013 until present have never featured a table split column capability and were not based on the Pages '09 source code.
