What your workbook carries without showing it
A hidden sheet with the margins, the author's name in the properties, a forgotten comment, a link to a colleague's drive: it all goes out with the file. Here is the list before you send it, without changing anything.
What this tool does
- Hidden and very hidden sheets (invisible even from Excel's menu), hidden rows and columns.
- Document properties: author, last modified by, company, dates.
- Comments and notes, defined names, data connections and macros.
- The workbooks targeted by external links, with their full path.
What it does not do: The inspection reads and changes nothing. To remove what it finds, the clean-before-sending tool does it in one click.
No file is uploaded. Turn off your network once this page has loaded: the tool keeps working. How to check it yourself.
