 # CHANGELOG.md
 
-## v0.38.1
+## v0.39.0
  - Ability to execute sql for URL paths with another extension. If you create sitemap.xml.sql, it will be executed for example.com/sitemap.xml
  - Display source line info in errors even when the database does not return a precise error position. In this case, the entire problematic SQL statement is referenced.
  - The shell with a vertical sidebar can now have "active" elements, just like the horizontal header bar.
+ - New `edit_url`, `delete_url`, and `custom_actions` properties in the [table](https://sql-page.com/component.sql?component=table) component to easily add nice icon buttons to a table.
 
 ## v0.38.0
  - Added support for the Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) standard.

+'## Using Action Buttons in a table.
+
+### Preset Actions: `edit_url` & `delete_url`
+Since edit and delete are common actions, the `table` component has dedicated `edit_url` and `delete_url` properties to add buttons for these actions.
+The value of these properties should be a URL, containing the `{id}` placeholder that will be replaced by the value of the `_sqlpage_id` property for that row.
+
+### Column with fixed action buttons
+
+You may want to add custom action buttons to your table rows, for instance to view details, download a file, or perform a custom operation.
+For this, the `table` component has a `custom_actions` top-level property that lets you define a column of buttons, each button defined by a name, an icon, a link, and an optional tooltip.
+
+### Column with variable action buttons
+
+The `table` component also supports the row level `_sqlpage_actions` column in your data table.
+This is helpful if you want a more complex logic, for instance to disable a button on some rows, or to change the link or icon based on the row data.
+
+> WARNING!
+> If the number of array items in `_sqlpage_actions` is not consistent across all rows, the table may not render correctly.
+> You can leave blank spaces by including an object with only the `name` property.
+
+The table has a column of buttons, each button defined by the `_sqlpage_actions` column at the table level, and by the `_sqlpage_actions` property at the row level.
+### `custom_actions` & `_sqlpage_actions` JSON properties.
+Each button is defined by the following properties:
+* `name`: sets the column header and the tooltip if no tooltip is provided,
+* `tooltip`: text to display when hovering over the button,
+* `link`: the URL to navigate to when the button is clicked, possibly containing the `{id}` placeholder that will be replaced by the value of the `_sqlpage_id` property for that row,
+* `icon`: the tabler icon name or image link to display on the button
+
+### Example using all of the above
