+### Empty column with overflow menu
+
+Some use cases require an empty column in the table body without a corresponding table header.
+
+For an object in the `headers` array, set `empty` to `true` to render an empty column.
+
+In the following example, each row in the sortable data table has an overflow menu. There isn't a separate, useless table header column for the overflow menu.
