Files and sharing

This section is about keeping a sheet, starting from one you already have, moving it as a file, and handing it to someone else.

Guest work lives only in the browser session that made it. Create an account before any of that matters.

Which control, and where it lives

Almost everything here is in one place. The Quick Access bar carries the icons. The File group on the Home tab repeats them with labels. Printing is the exception. It lives on the Document tab, in the Export group, next to the header, footer, and margin settings that shape the printed page.

Control	Where	What it does
New	Quick Access, Home → File	Names a new sheet, blank or from a template.
Save As	Quick Access, Home → File, Ctrl+S	Makes a named copy, or saves the sheet as a template.
Export	Quick Access, Home → File	Downloads the worksheet as a .leaf file.
Import ▾	Home → File	Opens a .leaf, .mcdx, or .xmcd as a new sheet.
Share	Quick Access	Issues a link that hands a copy to whoever opens it.
Print	Document → Export	Paginates the sheet and opens the browser print dialog.

Two of these create a whole worksheet rather than changing the open one. Save As leaves the original alone and opens the copy. Import ▾ always builds a new sheet instead of overwriting what you are looking at.

The pages

1. Save and Save As — if a signed-in sheet saves itself, what is Save As for?
2. Templates — how do you make new sheets start with your title block, unit system, and standard sections?
3. Import and export — how do you get a worksheet out as a file you can archive or email, and back in again?
4. Mathcad import — what converts from a .mcdx or .xmcd worksheet, and what do you fix by hand?
5. Share links — how do you let someone open the calculation without letting them touch your copy?
6. Print and PDF — what should you check before a PDF goes out with your name on it?
