+
+## Setup
+
+```ts
+import {
+  tableFeatures,
+  rowPaginationFeature,
+  createPaginatedRowModel,
+  constructTable,
+} from '@tanstack/table-core'
+import type { PaginationState } from '@tanstack/table-core'
+
+const _features = tableFeatures({ rowPaginationFeature })
+
+const table = constructTable({
+  _features,
+  _rowModels: {
+    paginatedRowModel: createPaginatedRowModel(),
+  },
+  columns,
+  data,
+  initialState: {
+    pagination: { pageIndex: 0, pageSize: 10 } satisfies PaginationState,
+  },
+})
+
+table.nextPage()
+table.setPageIndex(5)
+table.setPageSize(25)
+table.getCanNextPage()
+table.getPageCount()
+table.getRowCount()
+```
+
+## Core Patterns
+
+### Pagination toolbar
+
+```tsx
+// From examples/react/pagination/src/main.tsx
+<div>
+  <button
+    onClick={() => table.firstPage()}
+    disabled={!table.getCanPreviousPage()}
+  >
+    {'<<'}
+  </button>
+  <button
+    onClick={() => table.previousPage()}
+    disabled={!table.getCanPreviousPage()}
+  >
+    {'<'}
+  </button>
+  <button onClick={() => table.nextPage()} disabled={!table.getCanNextPage()}>
+    {'>'}
+  </button>
+  <button onClick={() => table.lastPage()} disabled={!table.getCanNextPage()}>
+    {'>>'}
+  </button>
+
+  <span>
+    Page {table.store.state.pagination.pageIndex + 1} of{' '}
+    {table.getPageCount().toLocaleString()}
+  </span>
+
+  <span>
+    | Go to page:
+    <input
+      type="number"
+      defaultValue={table.store.state.pagination.pageIndex + 1}
+      onChange={(e) => {
+        const page = e.target.value ? Number(e.target.value) - 1 : 0
+        table.setPageIndex(page)
+      }}
+    />
+  </span>
+
+  <select
+    value={table.store.state.pagination.pageSize}
+    onChange={(e) => table.setPageSize(Number(e.target.value))}
+  >
+    {[10, 20, 30, 40, 50].map((size) => (
+      <option key={size} value={size}>
+        Show {size}
+      </option>
+    ))}
+  </select>
+</div>
+```
+
+### Server-side pagination
+
+```tsx
+const [pagination, setPagination] = useState<PaginationState>({
+  pageIndex: 0,
+  pageSize: 10,
+})
+const { data: dataQuery } = useQuery({
+  queryKey: ['rows', pagination],
+  queryFn: () => fetchPage(pagination.pageIndex, pagination.pageSize),
+})
+
+const table = useTable({
+  _features: tableFeatures({ rowPaginationFeature }),
+  _rowModels: {}, // no paginatedRowModel — server paginates
+  data: dataQuery?.rows ?? EMPTY,
+  columns,
+  manualPagination: true,
+  rowCount: dataQuery?.rowCount, // server-provided total
+  // OR: pageCount: dataQuery.pageCount
+  // OR: pageCount: -1 if unknown (next button stays enabled)
+  state: { pagination },
+  onPaginationChange: setPagination,
+})
+```
+
+### Disable auto page reset when filters change
+
+```ts
+const table = constructTable({
+  _features: tableFeatures({ rowPaginationFeature, columnFilteringFeature }),
+  _rowModels: {
+    paginatedRowModel: createPaginatedRowModel(),
+    filteredRowModel: createFilteredRowModel(filterFns),
+  },
+  columns,
+  data,
+  autoResetPageIndex: false, // keep current page while user types in a filter
+})
+```
+
+`autoResetPageIndex` defaults to `!manualPagination` — true client-side, false manual.
+
+### "Total filtered rows" display while paginated
+
+```ts
+const totalFiltered = table.getPrePaginatedRowModel().rows.length
+const onCurrentPage = table.getRowModel().rows.length
+```
+
+`getPrePaginatedRowModel` is the row model AFTER filtering/sorting/grouping/expansion but BEFORE the page slice.
+
+## Common Mistakes
+
+### [HIGH] Setting `manualPagination: true` without supplying `rowCount` or `pageCount`
+
+Wrong:
+
+```tsx
+// getPageCount() returns 1, next/prev buttons are disabled
+const table = useTable({
+  _features: tableFeatures({ rowPaginationFeature }),
+  _rowModels: {},
+  data, // only 10 rows for the current page
+  columns,
+  manualPagination: true,
+  state: { pagination },
+  onPaginationChange: setPagination,
+  // missing: rowCount or pageCount
+})
+```
+
+Correct:
+
+```tsx
+const table = useTable({
+  _features: tableFeatures({ rowPaginationFeature }),
+  _rowModels: {},
+  data: dataQuery.rows,
+  columns,
+  manualPagination: true,
+  rowCount: dataQuery.rowCount, // server tells the table the total
+  // OR: pageCount: dataQuery.pageCount
+  // OR: pageCount: -1 if unknown
+  state: { pagination },
+  onPaginationChange: setPagination,
+})
+```
+
+`getRowCount()` defaults to `getPrePaginatedRowModel().rows.length` — which in manual mode is only the current page. Without `rowCount`/`pageCount`, the table thinks there's one page total.

+
+### [MEDIUM] Putting `pagination` in BOTH `state` and `initialState`
+
+Wrong:
+
+```tsx
+const [pagination, setPagination] = useState({ pageIndex: 0, pageSize: 10 })
+const table = useTable({
+  initialState: { pagination: { pageSize: 25 } }, // IGNORED
+  state: { pagination }, // wins (pageSize 10)
+  onPaginationChange: setPagination,
+})
+```
+
+Correct:
+
+```tsx
+const [pagination, setPagination] = useState({ pageIndex: 0, pageSize: 25 })
+const table = useTable({
+  _features: tableFeatures({ rowPaginationFeature }),
+  _rowModels: { paginatedRowModel: createPaginatedRowModel() },
+  columns,
+  data,
+  state: { pagination },
+  onPaginationChange: setPagination,
+})
+```
+
+`state` always overrides `initialState`. Seed the controlled state in `useState` or use `initialState` alone — never both.
+
+Source: docs/guide/pagination.md
+
+### [MEDIUM] `autoResetPageIndex: false` without manual clamping leaves empty pages
+
+Wrong:
+
+```ts
+const table = useTable({
+  _features,
+  _rowModels: {
+    paginatedRowModel: createPaginatedRowModel(),
+    filteredRowModel: createFilteredRowModel(filterFns),
+  },
+  columns,
+  data,
+  autoResetPageIndex: false, // user on page 5, then filters down to 2 pages
+  // → page 5 is empty. No automatic clamp.
+})
+```
+
+Correct:
+
+```ts
+// Either leave autoResetPageIndex default (true) for client-side,
+// or clamp manually after a data-altering effect:
+useEffect(() => {
+  const lastPage = Math.max(0, table.getPageCount() - 1)
+  if (table.atoms.pagination.get().pageIndex > lastPage) {
+    table.setPageIndex(lastPage)
+  }
+}, [data, columnFilters])
+```
+
+`setPageIndex` only clamps against `options.pageCount` (max safe int when unset). It doesn't clamp against the current row model.
+
+Source: packages/table-core/src/features/row-pagination/rowPaginationFeature.utils.ts
+
+### [LOW] Expecting `getRowCount()` to equal `data.length` under filtering/grouping/expansion
+
+Wrong:
+
+```ts
+console.log(table.getRowCount()) // count after all transforms
+console.log(data.length) // raw input count
+// These diverge under filtering, grouping, or tree vs flat input.
+```
+
+Correct:
+
+```ts
+table.getCoreRowModel().rows.length // raw row count (flat)
+table.getPreFilteredRowModel().rows.length // before filtering
+table.getFilteredRowModel().rows.length // after filtering
+table.getRowCount() // pre-paginated count (or `rowCount` option in manual mode)
+table.getRowModel().rows.length // current page only
+```
+
+`getRowCount` returns `options.rowCount ?? getPrePaginatedRowModel().rows.length`. Pick the model that matches the question.
+
+Source: docs/guide/row-models.md
+
+### [HIGH] `getToggleAllRowsSelectedHandler` only selects current page under server pagination
+
+Wrong:
+
+```tsx
+// Header checkbox only affects current page in manualPagination mode
+<input
+  checked={table.getIsAllRowsSelected()}
+  onChange={table.getToggleAllRowsSelectedHandler()}
+/>
+```
+
+Correct:
+
+```tsx
+// Use page-aware APIs with server pagination
+<input
+  checked={table.getIsAllPageRowsSelected()}
+  onChange={table.getToggleAllPageRowsSelectedHandler()}
+/>
+// For "select all server-side rows", track a separate "all rows mode"
+// boolean alongside the row map.
+```
+
+The table only knows about the current page's rows under `manualPagination`. "Select all" can never mean "every row on the server" without an explicit out-of-band selection mode.

+
+### [MEDIUM] `autoResetPageIndex` resets to `initialState.pageIndex` (not 0)
+
+Wrong:
+
+```ts
+// Filtering data resets to the deep-linked pageIndex, not 0
+const table = useTable({
+  data,
+  columns,
+  initialState: { pagination: { pageIndex: 5, pageSize: 10 } },
+  autoResetPageIndex: true,
+})
+```
+
+Correct:
+
+```ts
+useEffect(() => {
+  table.setPageIndex(0)
+}, [columnFilters, globalFilter])
+// Or: don't rely on autoResetPageIndex when deep-linking pageIndex
+```
+
+`_autoResetPageIndex` calls `resetPageIndex()` without `true`, which restores to `initialState.pagination.pageIndex` — typically a URL deep-link page that's now invalid.
+
+Source: https://github.com/TanStack/table/issues/6207
+
+### [CRITICAL] Reimplementing pagination math manually
+
+Wrong:
+
+```ts
+// Hand-rolled page slicing instead of using the API
+const paginatedRows = useMemo(
+  () => allRows.slice(pageIndex * pageSize, (pageIndex + 1) * pageSize),
+  [allRows, pageIndex, pageSize],
+)
+```
+
+Correct:
+
+```ts
+const table = useTable({
+  _features: tableFeatures({ rowPaginationFeature }),
+  _rowModels: { paginatedRowModel: createPaginatedRowModel() },
+  columns,
+  data,
+})
+// table.nextPage(), table.setPageIndex(...), table.getRowModel().rows
+```
+
+The built-in APIs honor `autoResetPageIndex`, `paginateExpandedRows`, and reset interactions across other features.
