FAQ

Does Clear Content remove borders, fill colors, or other formatting?

  2. Existing borders, fill colors, and similar formatting remain in place.
  3. After clearing, you can enter new content in the same location.

How can I recover data after clearing content by mistake?

  1. If the action just happened, tap Undo in the top toolbar first.
  2. Check whether the content returns to its previous state.
  3. If Undo is no longer available, try restoring an earlier version of the file.

Why can’t I find the Clear Content option?

  1. Make sure you opened a spreadsheet file rather than another document type.
  2. Check whether you selected a cell, a full row, or a full column first.
  3. If the file is read-only or you do not have edit permission, editing entries may be unavailable.

What is the difference between Clear Content and deleting rows or columns?

  1. Clear Content removes data only and does not change the spreadsheet structure.
  2. Deleting rows or columns changes the layout and can shift other data.
  3. If you want to keep a template layout, Clear Content is usually the better choice.
