I'm working on a big platform. It has many tables with consistent design.
Now, I'm designing a new page, and I think it's better for these tables if the rows will be smaller than across all platform tables. Can I break this consistency for UX? Is only changing the row padding considered breaking consistency?
The reason I think the rows should be smaller is that this table needs to be scanned through A LOT of items. It has pagination, none of our tables has pagination.
