Roadmap

We are expanding the Grid grouping experience with additional visualization modes that improve space utilization and data readability. Developers will be able to choose the grouping presentation that best fits their application, from compact grouped views to layouts better suited for responsive and data-dense scenarios. These enhancements provide greater flexibility while preserving compatibility with existing grouping implementations. 

We are adding built-in Select All functionality to the MultiSelect component to simplify bulk selection scenarios. Developers will be able to enable a dedicated Select All option that helps users work more efficiently with large datasets while reducing the need for custom implementations. 

 

A free, AI‑consumable knowledge skill that helps agents guide developers from a new project to a successfully running and licensed KendoReact app. It encodes product‑specific setup and licensing guidance - explaining trials, common pitfalls, and next steps - so developers can get to their first successful build without confusion or dead ends. 

 

We are redesigning the Scheduler component to deliver a more intuitive and modern scheduling experience. The refreshed architecture and user interface will improve usability for complex scheduling workflows while establishing a foundation for future innovations such as SmartBox- and SmartPaste-powered experiences. This redesign ensures the Scheduler remains flexible, scalable, and aligned with evolving user expectations. 

 

We are introducing a floating, in-context toolbar that provides quick access to common formatting and editing actionsdirectly next to selected content. This lightweight, non-intrusive experience reduces workflow interruptions and helps users stay focused while editing. The toolbar will also support AI-powered actions such as rewriting, summarization, translation, and tone adjustments directly within the editing workflow. 

 

 

 

We are evolving the Kendo UI Default theme to deliver a more modern and refined visual design language while preserving full backward compatibility. This initiative focuses on refreshing the overall aesthetic, improving design system modularity for greater flexibility and scalability, and enhancing AI/LLM friendliness to better support emerging intelligent experiences. The result will be a cleaner, more adaptable, and future-ready theme that builds on the strengths of the existing Default design.

 

 

 

We’re making KendoReact data visualization components more engaging and visually appealing. Upcoming updates include improved chart animations for smoother transitions, category highlighting for better data focus and readability, and theme-driven animation tokens to ensure consistent motion design across all themes. These enhancements will help you create charts that deliver a polished, modern user experience aligned with your application’s design. 

 

We’re adding the ability to export DataGrid content to CSV files in KendoReact. This feature will make it easy to extract, download and share tabular data for reporting, analysis, or integration with other tools.  

 

We’re enhancing the KendoReact Form component to support server-side validation in addition to existing client-side checks. This feature addresses scenarios where validation rules cannot be fully enforced on the client and ensures data integrity across complex applications. 

 

We’re adding support for sticky group headers in the KendoReact DataGrid component. This enhancement ensures that group headers remain visible while scrolling through large datasets, making it easier to understand the context of grouped data without losing track of which group you’re viewing. This improvement enhances usability for complex grids and delivers a smoother, more intuitive data exploration experience. 

 

• Security and stability: Older versions no longer receive active updates, making them less secure and harder to maintain. 
• Access to modern React features: By aligning with React 18 and 19, you can leverage concurrent Rendering, automatic batching, and other optimizations for better app performance. 
• Improved developer experience: Dropping legacy code paths reduces complexity and allows us to deliver faster updates and new capabilities. 

In an era where digital security is paramount, our new Input OTP component is designed to simplify and enhance two-factor authentication (2FA) workflows. This dedicated component addresses the growing need for a secure, user-friendly solution to OTP input, combining advanced customization, intuitive interactions, and rigorous security measures. With features like configurable input lengths, automatic focus shift, built-in validation, and accessibility support, the Input OTP component ensures a smooth and secure user experience. Fully customizable to fit any design system, it supports theming, localization, and integration with form validation libraries. Whether you're building login flows or verification steps, this component empowers developers to deliver robust, secure applications with ease.
