If you’re talking about adding new values you can just set it through
st[#st + 1] = myValue -- Gets length of st and adds 1 to not overwrite the value
I’m pretty sure table.insert would work fine as well

This wouldn’t work as it will throw attempt to get length of a SharedTable value error.
You can however use update, or just setting a random key.
local st = SharedTable.new({})
-- add a new value to the table.
-- or insert in your case.
st["key"] = 1
-- update the key.
-- v argument is the value.
SharedTable.update(st, "key", function(v) return v + 1 end)
print(st) -- ["key"] = 2
