What it means
Pagination breaks a long list into smaller windows so users can think in pages instead of an endless stream.
Data Models guide
Pagination data grid documentation
Pagination breaks a long result set into smaller windows. It is useful when users think in pages rather than endless scrolling.
When to use it
Use it when the workflow already talks about pages, ranges, or review batches. Prefer scrolling when users are continuously scanning through a feed-like list without caring where one page ends.
Implementation notes
Page size is a content-design choice as much as a technical one. Show enough range and page context that users always know where they are in the result set.
