Common questions about hiding or unhiding sheets usually focus on data retention, handling multiple sheets, and visible-sheet limits; this FAQ includes 3 common answers and a glossary.
FAQ
Will data in a hidden sheet be lost?
- No. Hiding a sheet only removes it from the visible tab bar.
- The worksheet data remains in the current workbook.
- You can restore the sheet later with the unhide option.
Can I hide multiple sheets?
- Yes. You can tap each target worksheet tab one by one.
- Apply the hide action to each sheet you want to remove from view.
- When needed, use the unhide option to restore hidden sheets.
Why can’t I hide every sheet in the workbook?
- A workbook must keep at least one worksheet visible.
- When only one visible worksheet remains, that sheet cannot be hidden.
- If you need a different layout, unhide another sheet first and then adjust the hiding order.
