As part of a broader branding initiative, we’ve changed the font styles and colors used throughout Spreadsheet.com from a traditional spreadsheet green theme to a more modern blend of blue and purple.
With a nod to American philosopher Nelson Goodman, who coined the term “grue” as a portmanteau of green and blue in 1955, our designer lovingly named our new theme “blurple” (a historic event that has yet to be documented in Wikipedia).
What we previously called "Accounts" are now "Workspaces". Workspaces are spaces for you to share work with other users or keep private for just yourself. Each workspace can contain any number of folders and workbooks within.
You can configure a workspace's settings and manage workspace users by clicking the gear icon in the main work pane or in the sidebar:
What we previously called "Workspaces" are now "Folders". Folders provide a way to organize work within a workspace into separate areas shared with different users or just yourself.
Folders can be created within a workspace by clicking the "+" icon in the main work pane or in the sidebar:
We've renamed the "Editor - can share" role to "Collaborator". Unlike Editors, users with the Collaborator role can create and share folders and workbooks within a workspace. Collaborators can also create and manage views within worksheets. In addition, Collaborators will soon be able to assign and manage view-specific permissions and lock or unlock views to prevent other users from changing them.
We’ve also introduced a set of steps in the sidebar to help new users get started with Spreadsheet.com. You will notice these steps automatically get marked as completed as you perform actions in the product.
001703: In a fix several users have been waiting for, renaming a worksheet now correctly updates all cross-sheet references in formulas from the old worksheet name to the new one.
