KendoReact Data Grid Custom Cells Overview
The KendoReact Data Grid provides the option to override its internal components by allowing you to customize its different types of cells.
Starting with KendoReact 5.14.0, you can apply more customizations to the Grid with a new set of properties. The previously available props such as the GridColumn
cellprop or the GridcellRendercallback are still available but provide less options for customization as the ones listed in this article.

- Data Cells

- Edit Cells
- Hierarchy Cells
