  • Browse through your models - navigate through specific cells in a spreadsheet. Add and/or remove the cells to and from the 'Model Navigator' dialog box.

  • Configure many functions in just one place, using toggle settings window - gain valuable time by automating repetitive tasks over multiple sheets such as view the same cell contents in all sheets, hiding rows, columns etc.
