FAQ

Can the exported file keep the original formatting?

Does export require an internet connection?

  1. Before exporting a collaborative spreadsheet, make sure your network connection is working normally.
  2. If the spreadsheet data is stored in the cloud, export needs to retrieve the latest data.
  3. If export fails, reconnect to the network and try again.

Are formulas still preserved after exporting to PDF?

  2. The PDF file does not keep editable formulas themselves.
