State Persistence in ASP.NET MVC Kanban control

7 Jul 202219 minutes to read

State persistence refers to the Kanban state maintained in the browser’s LocalStorage even if the browser is refreshed or if you move to the next page within the browser.

State persistence stores Kanban datasource, column or swimlane expand/collapse state in the local storage when the EnablePersistence is defined as true.
