Choose visible and printable worksheets

Choose the visible sheets

Open Visible sheets in the Workbook tab. Each authorable worksheet has a visibility control. Switch a sheet off to keep it out of the web-page presentation. The bulk option Hide all sheets except first in webpage provides a starting point when only the first sheet is intended for end users.

A worksheet’s presentation setting is different from a formula’s reference to that worksheet. Check the converted calculations after changing visibility, and do not use hidden presentation as a substitute for protecting sensitive data.

The sheet list also provides a print-sheet setting. Use a separate, suitably formatted worksheet when the printed version needs a different arrangement from the interactive form. Set the sheet’s print flag, convert, and check the print result.

Add the Print widget where end users should start printing and select its settings. Different output flavors can provide different print behavior: HTML and Node.js support the print-type choices; Server output may use the browser’s current-page printing instead.

Check before publishing

Use the actual converted page to test printing. Check page breaks, long values, charts and the intended worksheet content. A good interactive layout does not necessarily produce a good paper layout.
