Last updated:July 20, 2026

When using File Optimization, users often ask about 3 areas: data impact, processing time, and suitable scenarios. This FAQ covers 6 common questions.

FAQ

Will File Optimization affect spreadsheet data?

  1. File Optimization is mainly used to clean redundant data, cached content, styles, or compress images.
  2. Under normal use, the actual spreadsheet content is not rewritten by this process.
  3. If the file is important, save a backup copy before optimization.

How long does File Optimization take?

  1. The time required usually depends on the file size and complexity.
  2. Small files may finish quickly, while large files or files with many images may take longer.
  3. Wait until the analysis and processing are complete before moving on.

Does File Optimization work for cloud files in collaborative mode?

  1. After opening a collaborative cloud file, first confirm whether the current file supports optimization in the local interface.
  2. After optimization, check whether the opening and editing experience improves.
  3. If you need sync status to stay current, keep a network connection available while working.

What can I do if the optimization result is not obvious?

  1. Review the optimized items first and confirm whether image compression, redundant data cleanup, and style cleanup were included.
  2. If the file is still large, check whether it contains many images, complex formatting, or older redundant content.
  3. If the file has version history available, return to an earlier version when needed.

Can I run File Optimization more than once?

  1. Yes. You can open File Optimization again.
  2. The feature analyzes the current file state each time.
  3. If fewer items remain to be cleaned, later optimization runs may reduce the file size by a smaller amount.

When should I use File Optimization?

  1. Use it when the file size becomes noticeably larger.
  2. It is also useful when opening, editing, or sharing becomes slower.
  3. For spreadsheets that are edited often or contain many images or formatting changes, regular optimization helps maintain file condition.
