A Real-Time Collaborative Spreadsheet Your Whole Team Shares

Real-time collaborative spreadsheet editing means every change appears instantly for every user. No saving, no file locking, no version conflicts — just your team working on live data together.

How Real-Time Editing Works

Live cursors, instant sync, and zero version conflicts.

Live Cursors and Instant Cell Updates

Every person editing the spreadsheet appears with their own colored cursor. Cell changes propagate in milliseconds, so your team always sees the latest values without refreshing or saving manually.

Colored cursorsMillisecond syncNo manual saves

Conflict-Free Simultaneous Edits

Two people can edit adjacent cells or even the same row without causing data loss. The system merges edits automatically and notifies both users if the same cell is modified at the same time.

Cell-Level Comments and Threads

Attach comments to specific cells to discuss a data point without leaving the spreadsheet. Comment threads keep context visible right next to the data, and you can tag teammates for input.

Automatic Change History

Every edit is logged with who made it and when. Scroll through the change history to see how values evolved over time, and restore a previous version of the sheet if needed.

Real-Time Editing Questions

What teams ask about live spreadsheet collaboration.

Edits sync in milliseconds over a live connection. When one person types a value, everyone else sees it appear almost instantly. There is no polling or manual refresh involved.

The system accepts the most recent edit and notifies both users. In practice this rarely happens because live cursors show where everyone is working, so team members naturally avoid the same cell.

Yes. Every edit is attributed to the user who made it, with a timestamp. The change history panel shows a full timeline of modifications you can review at any time.
