FAQ
Can other collaborators see replaced content in a collaborative spreadsheet?

- After replacing content, check whether the updated result is visible in the sheet.
- Ask collaborators to refresh or review the same area in the shared file to confirm the change appears.
How do I search across multiple worksheets at the same time?
- Open the Find or Replace dialog box.
- Click Options to expand advanced settings.
- Change the search scope from the current worksheet to the entire workbook, then run the search again.
Why are no results returned after I enter search content?

- Remove overly strict conditions and search again.
What should I check before using Replace All?
