Description

Model-driven apps now support configurable display density settings that let users choose how information is spaced throughout the application. Users can select from three density options:

Comfortable (default)

Cozy

Compact

​

Each density setting adjusts layout spacing while maintaining accessibility target-size requirements. Administrators and makers can configure default density settings at the environment and app level, while individual users can personalize the experience by selecting their preferred density. User preferences take precedence over administrator-configured defaults.

​

Display density requires the Header and Navigation Refresh experience to be enabled, and will be enabled by default for apps that have Header and Navigation Refresh enabled. Makers can disable display density for their apps using the app setting if needed.

​

Some controls and components may not yet support display density. These controls will continue to render using their standard spacing regardless of the selected density setting. Custom component developers can add support for display density by adopting Fluent design spacing tokens. Learn more in the documentation.
