How-to Guide
1. Create a Smart Document
Entry path: Bottom tab bar in Smart Spreadsheet → “+” → “App” → “Smart Document”
- Open a Smart Spreadsheet file.
- On the bottom tab bar, click the “+” button on the right.
- In the pop-up menu, hover over “App.”
- Click “Smart Document” in the submenu.
- A new smart document tab is created and opens in edit mode.
Success Criteria
- Interface result: a new smart document tab appears on the bottom tab bar.
- What you can do next: you can type directly or use the toolbar to format content.
Tips While Using
- Smart documents can be created only in Smart Spreadsheet files (.sst).
- If the current file is a standard worksheet file (.xlsx), the Smart Document option does not appear in the menu.
2. Edit a Smart Document
Entry path: Open the smart document editing view after creation
- In the smart document editor, use the top toolbar to set paragraph styles, font size, and text formatting.
- Use bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, color, superscript, subscript, and inline code tools as needed.
- Use task lists, numbered lists, bulleted lists, alignment, and indentation to organize content.
- Click “+ Insert” to add images, tables, code blocks, and other content.
- Type “/” in the editor to open the quick insert menu.
- To view the outline, apply heading styles first and then check the outline panel on the left.
- Use comments when you need to leave feedback during collaboration.
Success Criteria
- Interface result: the text style or inserted content is updated in the editor.
- What you can do next: you can continue switching to worksheets, data tables, or other smart document tabs.
- No side effect: editing the smart document does not close other tabs in the same file.
Tips While Using
- Typing “/” is a faster way to open the insert menu.
- The outline panel is generated after you apply heading styles.
- During collaboration, keeping an internet connection helps comments and edits sync in time.
