# ManualRowResize

[[toc]]

## Description

This plugin allows to change rows height. To make rows height persistent the [Options#persistentState](@/api/metaSchema.md#persistentstate)
plugin should be enabled.

The plugin creates additional components to make resizing possibly using user interface:
- handle - the draggable element that sets the desired height of the row.
- guide - the helper guide that shows the desired height as a horizontal guide.
