What's New 2026 Q1

Grid Virtualization and Performance Improvements

The Grid receives a major virtualization update with simplified configuration and faster rendering for large datasets. Reduced setup complexity and improved memory handling provide more predictable performance in data-intensive scenarios.

Automatic Data Processing and State Management

A new autoProcessData prop enables the Kendo UI for Vue Grid to internally manage sorting, filtering, grouping and paging, reducing boilerplate code. Expanded state control for row expansion and column configuration allows more consistent and persistent Grid behavior.

Built-In Global Search and TypeScript Refinements

The Grid now includes native global search support through the GridSearchBox component, enabling cross-column search without custom logic. Refined TypeScript event interfaces further improve typing accuracy and overall developer experience.
