| Date | Change | Summary |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-11-03 | minor | Cell context menu on a cell with a link: Edit Hyperlink… (the link dialog, titled Edit Hyperlink and filled with the link), Open Hyperlink and Remove Hyperlink, as in Excel, instead of Link… (#2120) |
| 2026-11-03 | minor | File › Options › Display options for this workbook: Show horizontal scroll bar, Show vertical scroll bar and Show sheet tabs (`view.showHorizontalScrollBar`, `view.showVerticalScrollBar`, `view.showSheetTabs`), saved with the workbook; with the sheet tabs off the scroll bar takes the bar, with the scroll bar off the tabs do, with both off the bar goes, and without the vertical scroll bar the grid takes its width (#3101) |
| 2026-11-03 | minor | Find and Replace with a range selected searches only that range, as in Excel: Find Next moves the active cell through it and keeps it selected, Find All lists its matches, Replace and Replace All change only them; one selected cell still searches the sheet. `edit.find` / `edit.replace` take `within: selection` (#3224) |
| 2026-11-03 | minor | Point mode: dragging over row or column headers extends the whole-row or whole-column reference, as it does over cells |
