# Saved views (localStorage)
Per-user grid layouts. Each "view" snapshots column widths, pinning,
sort, filter, page index, and (optionally) grouping. Switching views
restores the snapshot.
The examples on this page run against these rows:
```svelte
```
```svelte
{#each views as v (v.name)}
{/each}
(api = next)} />
```
## GDPR / HIPAA tip
The snapshot stores column STATE only - never row VALUES. If you
were to save `api.getDisplayedRows()` you'd land row data in
localStorage; don't. See [GDPR + data residency](https://svgrid.com/docs/compliance/gdpr/).
## Try it
A view is a snapshot you can switch back to. Held in memory here; the only
change for a real app is where `views` is read from and written to.
```svelte
{#each views as view (view.name)}
{/each}
```
