I am using the Kendo grid in an MVC application. I would like to provide a way for users to save a grid layout (serialize it). Then, later, when a user comes back to the page, I'd like to enable the user to restore the grid layout exactly as they had saved it. I presume I would do this by taking the serialized copy of the grid, feed it to some grid method which would then modify the grid layout to match the serialized copy. Is this possible to do with the Kendo grid?

Hello Randy,

This functionality is achievable by using the setOptions and getOptions methods.
Furthermore, a runnable example is available here:

Additionally, if you are using a toolbar or header templates with razor syntax, they are not going to load as expected due to a known limitation of the setOptions method. A workaround for this behavior is outlined in this example:
