### ➕ Adding & deleting rows

* * *

Viewers are able to add or delete rows via the table UI. This mode can be activated by setting the `num_rows` parameter to `"dynamic"`. Rows can be added by clicking on any cell of the last (trailing) row. To delete rows, select one or more rows and press the`delete` key on your keyboard.

Find more information and provide feedback in Adding and deleting rows - Spec.

ℹ️

The current UI/UX for adding and deleting rows is a bit suboptimal. This is planned to be improved (e.g. adding toolbar buttons to trigger addition/deletion).

### 📥 Paste from clipboard

* * *

The data editor supports pasting in tabular data from Google Sheets, Excel, Notion, and many other similar tools. You can also copy-paste data between `st.data_editor` instances.

Find more information and provide feedback in Adding and deleting rows - Spec.

**To try it out**:

- Copy data from this Googel Sheets document to clipboard
- Select any cell in the `name` column of the table below and paste it in (via `ctrl/cmd + v`).

*Every cell of the pasted data will be evaluated individually and inserted into the cells if the data is compatible with the column type. For example, pasting in non-numerical text data into a number column will be ignored.*

### 🏃🏼 Large-data handling

* * *

The frontend is optimized for large datasets and can handle millions of rows. But there are still some bottlenecks for handling very large dataframes in Streamlit: 1) the proto message size limit (although its configurable) 2) the memory of the Streamlit python backend 3) the memory of the user's browser.
