Tables often look the same across many rows, making it easy for users to lose their spot. When users interact with rows in a table, it's helpful to show visual signs of their interaction to improve the experience.

Here’s how to do this:

• Add a hover state to a row when the cursor is over it. You can do this by changing the row's background color or adding a highlight effect when the cursor hovers over it. This makes it much easier for users to keep track of where they are in the table, especially when they need to interact with specific rows or compare data across a row. This becomes even more important in situations where rows are interactive or contain actionable items.
• In situations where users need to select multiple table rows for bulk actions, make the selected rows stand out visually. Rather than relying on a small checkmark, which can be easily overlooked, opt for a more noticeable approach — change the background color of the selected rows to a distinct hue or shade.
