-## Column Visibility Guide
+## Column Visibility Guide
+
+The column visibility feature allows table columns to be hidden or shown dynamically. In previous versions of react-table, this feature was a static property on a column, but in v8, there is a dedicated `columnVisibility` state and APIs for managing column visibility dynamically.
+
+### Column Visibility State
+
+The `columnVisibility` state is a map of column IDs to boolean values. A column will be hidden if its ID is present in the map and the value is `false`. If the column ID is not present in the map, or the value is `true`, the column will be shown.
+
+```jsx
+const [columnVisibility, setColumnVisibility] = useState({
+  columnId1: true,
+  columnId2: false, //hide this column by default
+  columnId3: true,
+});
+
+const table = useReactTable({
+  //...
+  state: {
+    columnVisibility,
+    //...
+  },
+  onColumnVisibilityChange: setColumnVisibility,
+});
+```
+
+Alternatively, if you don't need to manage the column visibility state outside of the table, you can still set the initial default column visibility state using the `initialState` option.
+
+> **Note**: If `columnVisibility` is provided to both `initialState` and `state`, the `state` initialization will take precedence and `initialState` will be ignored. Do not provide `columnVisibility` to both `initialState` and `state`, only one or the other.
+
+```jsx
+const table = useReactTable({
+  //...
+  initialState: {
+    columnVisibility: {
+      columnId1: true,
+      columnId2: false, //hide this column by default
+      columnId3: true,
+    },
+    //...
+  },
+});
+```
+
+### Disable Hiding Columns
+
+By default, all columns can be hidden or shown. If you want to prevent certain columns from being hidden, you set the `enableHiding` column option to `false` for those columns.
+
+```jsx
+const columns = [
+  {
+    header: 'ID',
+    accessorKey: 'id',
+    enableHiding: false, // disable hiding for this column
+  },
+  {
+    header: 'Name',
+    accessor: 'name', // can be hidden
+  },
+];
+```
+
+### Column Visibility Toggle APIs
+
+There are several column API methods that are useful for rendering column visibility toggles in the UI.
+
+- `column.getCanHide` - Useful for disabling the visibility toggle for a column that has `enableHiding` set to `false`.
+- `column.getIsVisible` - Useful for setting the initial state of the visibility toggle.
+- `column.toggleVisibility` - Useful for toggling the visibility of a column.
+- `column.getToggleVisibilityHandler` - Shortcut for hooking up the `column.toggleVisibility` method to a UI event handler.
+
+```jsx
+{table.getAllColumns().map((column) => (
+  <label key={column.id}>
+    <input
+      checked={column.getIsVisible()}
+      disabled={!column.getCanHide()}
+      onChange={column.getToggleVisibilityHandler()}
+      type="checkbox"
+    />
+    {column.columnDef.header}
+  </label>
+))}
+```
+
+### Column Visibility Aware Table APIs
+
+When you render your header, body, and footer cells, there are a lot of API options available. You may see APIs like `table.getAllLeafColumns` and `row.getAllCells`, but if you use these APIs, they will not take column visibility into account. Instead, you need to use the "visible" variants of these APIs, such as `table.getVisibleLeafColumns` and `row.getVisibleCells`.
+
+```jsx
+<table>
+  <thead>
+    <tr>
+      {table.getVisibleLeafColumns().map((column) => ( // takes column visibility into account
+        //
+      ))}
+    </tr>
+  </thead>
+  <tbody>
+    {table.getRowModel().rows.map((row) => (
+      <tr key={row.id}>
+        {row.getVisibleCells().map((cell) => ( // takes column visibility into account
+          //
+        ))}
+      </tr>
+    ))}
+  </tbody>
+</table>
+```
+
+If you are using the Header Group APIs, they will already take column visibility into account.
