FAQ

Why does my copy seem to be missing some data?

  1. Check whether you selected Copy all content instead of Copy empty table and views only.
  2. If the original data was still changing during the copy process, wait for syncing to finish and review the copy again.
  3. If needed, create the copy again when the source table is stable.

Why do formula references in the copy look different from what I expected?

  1. Open the copied datasheet and review which table object the formula fields are currently referencing.
  2. If you want the formulas to reference the copied table instead of the original one, adjust the related references manually.
  3. Recheck the calculation results after the update.

Does creating a copy use additional storage space?

  1. Yes. Storage usage increases as copied content is added.
  2. A full-content copy is stored as a separate object.
