What it means
Resize settings control how columns and rows respond when users drag their edges, which changes how dense or forgiving the grid feels during review.
Data Operations guide
Resize data grid documentation
Resize settings control how much users can reshape the grid. They are especially useful on dense operational screens where teams need to reclaim space quickly.
When to use it
Use immediate resize when the table is small enough that constant reflow still feels smooth. Use deferred resize for heavier grids where users should only pay the render cost once they release the drag handle.
Implementation notes
Treat resize mode as a performance-and-feel choice, not just a technical switch. If users rarely resize, keep the interaction subtle; if they resize often, make the affordance obvious and stable.
