Share a SQL Spreads document

You share your SQL Spreads Excel document like any other Excel file. Just ensure that the user has the SQL Spreads Excel Add-In installed, and then send them the file either by email or on a shared drive. 

Protecting your setup 

You can prevent users from making changes in the Designer in two ways; 

1. You can install SQL Spreads in Data Editor mode where the Design mode is locked out. 
   
   
2. You can password protect the Design mode if you are sharing your document with a user who is running SQL Spreads in Design mode.
