You can apply fixes with a single click or explore more options by clicking the arrow next to an action. -
Enhancing Document Clarity
To improve the clarity of your Excel documents, it is essential to use descriptive labels for cells. For instance, instead of labeling a cell simply as 'Phone', use 'Phone Number' to provide clearer context. This practice helps users understand the information they need to input. -
