Editing and versions
Editing a delivered workbook in the browser, what stays locked, and how to get back to an earlier build.
Source reviewed Product documentation
You can type into the workbook without leaving the page.
What is editable
Non-formula cells on the current delivered paper. Anything computed is locked, and the subtitle says editable, formulas locked. The lock stops an edit from silently detaching a total from the lines it sums.
What an edit does
Manual cell changes autosave on the current delivered paper. The title bar reports saving… or saved and counts the manual edits. History records each hand edit alongside the delivered versions. An update normally starts from the edited file; a fresh build starts again from the documents.
Check the saved state
If the title bar says not saved — retry an edit, do not assume the downloaded workbook includes your change. A fresh build can also leave earlier manual edits behind; the page says so when that happens.
Going back
Choose a delivered version in History to open it read-only. Its row has Download and, if it is older than the current paper, Restore. A restore becomes another entry in the history.
Re-running after new documents
Add or replace a document and the case shows Documents changed since the last generate. Choose Update in that strip when you are ready to rebuild from the changed source set.
