 * Is there anyway to make a table created and managed by this plugin editable by
   a visitor? A Sort of live document?

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question.
    Unfortunately, I have bad news. It is not possible
   to edit tables from the frontend, and it most likely won’t be in the future. 
   The reason for this is that this would bring very complex issues with it, that
   affect the core internals of how the table data is saved. Therefore, tables can
   only be edited on the “Edit” screen in the admin area. I hope that TablePress
   is still useful for you.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
