Save/print/download your spreadsheet
By default, Spreadsheet Editor automatically saves your file each 2 seconds when you work on it preventing your data loss in case of the unexpected program closing. If you co-edit the file in the Fast mode, the timer requests for updates 25 times a second and saves the changes if they have been made. When the file is being co-edited in the Strict mode, changes are automatically saved at 10-minute intervals. If you need, you can easily select the preferred co-editing mode or disable the Autosave feature on the Advanced Settings page.
To save your current spreadsheet manually,
- click the Save
icon at the top toolbar, or - use the Ctrl+S key combination, or
- click the File tab of the top toolbar and select the Save option.
To download the resulting spreadsheet onto your computer hard disk drive,
- click the File tab of the top toolbar,
- select the Download as... option,
- choose one of the available formats depending on your needs: XLSX, PDF, ODS, CSV.
Note: if you select the CSV format, all features (font formatting, formulas etc.) except the plain text will not be preserved in the CSV file. If you continue saving, the Choose CSV Options window will open. By default, Unicode (UTF-8) is used as the Encoding type. The default Delimiter is comma (,), but the following options are also available: semicolon (;), colon (:), Tab, Space and Other (this option allows you to set a custom delimiter character).
To print out the current spreadsheet,
- click the Print
icon at the top toolbar, or - use the Ctrl+P key combination, or

Leave the Actual Size option to print the sheet without adjusting,
- Margins - specify the distance between the worksheet data and the edges of the printed page changing the default sizes in the Top, Bottom, Left and Right fields,
