# Manage column widths

There are a number of ways by which you can quickly adjust column width, especially when you have a lot of columns in the report. 

The simplest way is to hover over the column header that needs to be resized and drag the handle as desired.

There are four other options to adjust the column widths directly from the toolbar.&#x20;

1. ‘Fit to header’ resize the columns to fit the column header  &#x20;
2. ‘Fit to content’ resizes the columns to fit the contents
3. ‘Best fit’ auto-adjusts both rows and columns that optimizes real estate&#x20;
4. 'Manual column width' allows you to enter the width for specific columns in pixels

Let's explore each of them with an example.

In the Home tab, click on the **Auto fit** icon as highlighted. You can see the options in the dropdown.

### 1. Fit to header

Choosing the **Fit to header** resizes each column to fit its column header.&#x20;

### 4. Manual column width

The **Manual column width** option allows you to enter the width for specific columns in pixels.

### 5. Lock column width

Once you have adjusted the column widths as desired, you can lock the column sizes to prevent any unintentional changes.

Turn on the 'Lock size' toggle as shown below.&#x20;

Once the columns are locked, the four auto-fit options will be disabled.&#x20;

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.inforiver.com/premium-table/working-with-premium-table/3.-basic-interactions/manage-column-widths.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
