To change any of the column attributes listed above, click on **Manage Columns**.

## 1. Adjust Column Width You can specify the width of each column in pixels. Enter the column width in pixels for the columns that you want to adjust.

You can use the **Reset** option to restore the column widths to their original values before any changes were made.

## 2. Display/Hide Columns To display or hide specific columns, check or uncheck the checkbox beside them. In the example below, we have hidden the 'Product Description' column.

Enable the checkbox in the header to display all columns in the table.

## 3. Column Configuration Click on **Edit Config** to open the column configuration window where you can configure all of the column properties.

This opens the window as shown below. Refer to [this section](/explore-powertable/working-with-powertable/column-setup/configure-column-properties.md) to know more.

## 4. Column Access Control Clicking on the **Column Access** option allows you to specify who can access which columns.

The following window opens where you can configure the column access control. To know more, refer to [this section](/explore-powertable/access-control/column-permissions.md).

## 5. Re-order Columns To rearrange columns, simply drag and drop the desired columns onto the table, or you can arrange the column headers here, as shown below.

#### Search and Filter You can use the search bar to find and customize specific columns here, especially if there are many columns in the table. You can also filter specific columns by data type or column type.

Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.powertable.com/explore-powertable/working-with-powertable/column-setup/manage-columns.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
