Whatâs new?
Weâre thrilled to launch a number of major updates to the Spreadsheet.com user interface. From column data type icons to new workbook menus, navigation menus, color-coded Views, and a new palette for the worksheet grid, we think youâll find navigating Spreadsheet.com workbooks a faster and more enjoyable experience.
We also published 16 new templates for use cases ranging from Construction Estimation to Sprint Planning, OKR Tracking, a COVID Vaccine Tracker, and an Investor CRM. In addition, we published 6 new work management resources and use case guides for you to learn from.
Letâs take a look!
1. Color-coded Views
Each View type now has itâs own color-coded icon, making it easier to distinguish view types at a glance in the View selector and sidebar.
2. New workbook menu
Weâve streamlined the workbook header area by moving and consolidating the workbook menus into a new workbook menu structure, now available from the hamburger icon on the left.
In addition, a new menu is available next to the workbookâs name with a few of the most commonly used workbook actions.
3. Column data type icons
Weâre excited to introduce column data type icons. For each typed column (i.e. columns with an assigned data type other than Automatic), you will now see an icon in the column header corresponding to that columnâs assigned data type.
For cases where you donât want column data type icons to appear, you can simply turn them off at the worksheet level with the new âShow column iconsâ option in the View menu.
4. New global navigation menu
Weâve also consolidated global navigation actions into a new menu available by clicking the Spreadsheet.com logo in the upper left, which remains a quick way to access recent items, templates, and home.
5. New worksheet tabs
Last but not least, weâve made it easier to quickly spot the currently selected worksheet tab with a color change that you canât miss.
