 Working with a Numbers Spreadsheet

 

You can also send a spreadsheet to iWeb. For more information, see “Sending a 
Spreadsheet to iWeb” on page 187.

If you don’t want to save changes you made to your spreadsheet since opening it or 
last saving it, you can undo them. 

m

To undo your most recent change, choose Edit > Undo.

m

To undo multiple changes, choose Edit > Undo multiple times. You can undo any 
changes you made since opening the spreadsheet or reverting to the last saved 
version.

m

To restore changes you’ve undone using Edit > Undo, choose Edit > Redo one or more 
times.

m

To undo all changes you made since the last time you saved your spreadsheet, choose 
File > “Revert to Saved” and then click Revert.

Each time you save a spreadsheet, you can save a copy without the changes you made 
since last saving it. That way, if you change your mind about edits you have made, you 
can go back to (revert to) the backup version of the spreadsheet. 

m

To automatically save a backup version of a spreadsheet, choose Numbers > 
Preferences, click General, and then select “Back up previous version when saving.” 

The next time you save your spreadsheet, a backup version is created in the same 
location, with “Backup of” preceding the filename. Only one version—the last saved 
version—is backed up. Every time you save the spreadsheet, the old backup file is 
replaced with the new backup file.

m

To revert to the last saved version after making unsaved changes, choose File > Revert 
to Saved. The changes in your open spreadsheet are undone.

When you save a spreadsheet as a template, it appears in the Template Chooser. 

m

Choose File > Save as Template.

See “Designing a Template” on page 188 for additional details.
