Note:
- Occasionally, certain formatting from uploaded files does not display precisely in Connections Docs, yet is preserved in the file. For example, for an unsupported formula, you see the formula name in the cell instead of the calculated value. In these cases, once a version is published, you can download the file back to its original format.
- You can import .xlsx files that contain .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .gif, and .bmp images. You can also import .xlsx files that contain .wmf, .emf, .tif, and .tiff images, but these file types are converted to supported types during the import.
- Data validation that was previously set in an .xlsx, .xls, or .ods file works properly after the file is imported to Connections Docs. Within a range, such data validation still functions when you use autofill to add data to cells in the range, and when you cut or copy the range and paste it to another range.
