Enhancements
1. Improved rendering & scroll performance
We’re thrilled to share that we released the first version of our new high performance grid, giving Spreadsheet.com up to 10x faster rendering & scroll performance. The next version, planned for release in December, will include improved worksheet edit & selection performance as well as further improvements to rendering speed.
2. Improved scalability and concurrency
We’ve also released the first version of our new backend formula engine and our new concurrency algorithms, laying the foundation for a scalable and reliable service that can support millions of users with zero-downtime upgrades. While these changes are less visible to you as a user, we think it’s important for you to know how much we’re investing in R&D behind the scenes in preparation for growth.
3. Ability to convert between Multiselect and Related row data types
With the completion of our data type conversion capabilities, you can now convert Multiselect cell values to one or more Related row links simply by changing the data type of a column, cell, or range of cells. Cell values matching the value of a primary column cell in the target worksheet will automatically be converted to row links.
