CollabOS Sheets

Create and edit a spreadsheet

Open Sheets from the sidebar. Your list contains spreadsheets you own and spreadsheets explicitly shared with you. Workspace membership does not grant access to another member's sheets. No Google account or Google connection is required.

Choose New sheet or Blank spreadsheet to start. Rename the document at the top of the editor. Import accepts CSV, TSV and XLSX files. Imported identifier strings, including long Discord IDs, stay as text.

The grid supports editable cells, range selection, copying and pasting, drag fill, rows and columns, worksheet tabs, undo/redo, number formats, fonts, colours, borders, merging, alignment, wrapping, rotation, freezing, sorting, filters, links and formulas. Use the formula bar or type a formula such as =SUM(A1:A5) in a cell.

Columns are customizable; they are not fixed to Discord, X or wallet fields. You can create section headings, merge cells across a section, and add any columns your work needs.

Changes save automatically. The status beside the title shows whether edits are saved, pending or need attention. Save now also saves pending changes. Unsaved changes are recovered from the same browser tab when available. Keep the tab open if saving fails and use Save a separate copy before reloading when you want to retain unresolved edits.

Independent changes from different editors are merged. Other saved changes are checked about every eight seconds while the page is visible. Overlapping edits and incompatible structural changes require review; CollabOS does not silently replace one editor's work. This is not character-by-character live coauthoring.

File includes New spreadsheet, Open, Import, Make a copy, Share, Email, Download, Rename, Move to Trash, Details, Print worksheet and Version history. Actions follow your access: owners manage sharing and Trash; editors can rename. New, Open and Import save pending changes before leaving. Import accepts CSV, TSV and Excel (.xlsx) files up to 4 MB and creates a separate spreadsheet. Download offers CSV for the active worksheet and Excel for the workbook. Email prepares a draft in your email app with recipients, subject, message, an optional sheet link and a copy to yourself. Owners can select existing collaborators. You send the draft yourself, and emailing a link never grants access. Download files separately to attach them. The most recent 20 saved versions are available to editors. Restoring a version creates a new revision. Excel transfer covers cells, basic styles, merges and formulas; charts and comment conversations remain in CollabOS.

Documents support up to 20 worksheet tabs, 10,000 rows and 200 columns per tab, and 4 MB of saved workbook data. Split larger documents into separate spreadsheets. Embedded HTML and files are not supported in cells.
