+
+## Persisting column width and order
+
+When the `columns` prop reference is updated, the column width and order is reset to the `colDef.width` and the order of the `colDef` object and any updates will be lost.
+This is because the Data Grid considers update of the columns prop as a new set of columns, and the previous state is discarded.
+
+To persist the column width and order when the `columns` prop is updated, consider persisting the state of the columns in the userland.
