Can anyone explain to me what the difference is between Row, Table, or Section when adding repeating data to a Doc Gen action? Repeating sections are repeating sections, so I don't follow what the difference is in output to the document. I added one by table and one by row, and there's no difference in the tags.

@AnneC The difference is the way the data replicates, row adds a row in the table for each item, table creates a new table for each item and section a rich text content control field in word(https://help.nintex.com/en-US/nwc/Content/Designer/Actions/GenerateDocument.htm). The start tags are what is different between them and decides how to replicate e.g. <<Field_Start>> for row and <<Field_Table_Start>> for table.
