Tips While Using

- Environment note: The visual effect may vary depending on screen size.
3. Confirm that data stays the same in both views
Entry path: Review the current spreadsheet after Rotate Screen is enabled
- Review the spreadsheet data in the wider view.
- Compare it with what you saw in the original view.
- Confirm that cell values, headers, and content remain unchanged.
- Continue reviewing or editing the spreadsheet in either view.
Success Criteria
- Interface result: The spreadsheet content remains the same in both viewing directions.
- Next action available: You can keep reviewing or editing the file in the current view.
- No side effect: Switching the view does not change the original spreadsheet data.
Tips While Using
- Common mistake: Do not assume that Rotate Screen creates a new file or a duplicate copy. It only changes the display direction.
