Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked Column Management modal demo, prototype, and Figma design, then compare the proposed grouping, group-title popovers, and conditional Restore behavior with the current component. Done means the three enhancements are implemented and their behavior matches the agreed design; the Jira issue PF-3516 may provide additional requirements.

Description
While working on a feature requiring complex table customization, I’ve been exploring some potential enhancements to the Column Management modal:
Proposed Enhancements:
- Expandable Column Groups: Add support for grouping related columns within the modal. This is especially useful for tables with many columns, allowing users to expand/collapse sections to find what they need more efficiently.
- Popovers on Group Titles: Allow for informational popovers on group headings to provide additional context or descriptions for specific categories of data.
- Conditional "Restore" State: Disable the
Restore default columnsaction if the user has not made any changes from the default state. This reduces visual noise and clarifies when a customization has actually occurred.
