Is there any documentation on what this does? It seems pretty exciting, but I can't find anything.

The dialog gives instructions on defining the control:

Full logical name of the control (<PublisherPrefix>_<NameSpace>_<ControlName>) that provides custom cell renders and/or editors for the Power Apps grid control

But no idea how to interface with it.

Re: Customizer Control on new Power Apps Grid

That's an excelent question @BenFreedman !

I've tried with a PCF, and I saw that it gets loaded, but it's not working, so it must be something else.

@DianaBirkelbach if you'd tried with no luck, I've got no shot!
It'd be really nice to let's say...render an image column without resorting to client-side scripting.
I really enjoy your PCF videos!

Re: Customizer Control on new Power Apps Grid

Thanks @HammockDweller and @BenFreedman 😉

As you posted in the question, the description says "custom cell renders and/or editors".

I hope that we'll be able to replace specific cell(s) and be able to have even custom editable grids, without having to implement a complete dataset PCF. That would be amazing.

Hopefully we get soon the docs, and can start to play with it.
