## Read-only cells

This page shows ways to configure columns or cells to be read only:

- Read-only columns
- Read-only specific cells

## Read-only columns

In many usage cases, you will need to configure a certain column to be read only. This column will be available for keyboard navigation and CTRL+C. Only editing and pasting data will be disabled.

To make a column read-only, declare it in the `columns` setting. You can also define a special renderer function that will dim the read-only values.

## Read-only specific cells

This example makes cells that contain the word "Nissan" read only.

It forces all cells to be rendered by `myReadonlyRenderer`, which will decide wheather a cell is really read only by checking its `readOnly` property.
