Migration from v5 to v6

This guide describes the changes needed to migrate from v5 to v6.

Start using the alpha release

In package.json, change the version of the data grid package to next.

-"@mui/x-data-grid": "latest",
+"@mui/x-data-grid": "next",

Using next ensures that it will always use the latest v6 alpha release, but you can also use a fixed version, like 6.0.0-alpha.0.

Breaking changes

Since v6 is a major release, it contains some changes that affect the public API. These changes were done for consistency, improve stability and make room for new features. Below are described the steps you need to make to migrate from v5 to v6.
