Snippet Library
The Snippet Library is where you keep formulas you want to reuse. Think of it as a bookmark list for your best formulas, always one click from the Editor.
Saving a snippet
- Write or edit a formula in the Editor.
- Click the Save to Snippets button (bookmark icon) in the toolbar, or open the Snippets panel on the side rail and choose New.
- Give your snippet a Snippet Name (e.g. “Monthly revenue growth %”).
- Paste or refine the formula in the Formula / Logic field — it has the same Monaco editor you’re used to.
- If your plan supports team sharing, choose Private (visible only to you) or Team (visible to everyone in your workspace). If not, the snippet is private by default.
- Click Save.
Snippets also remember the platform they were saved for (Google Sheets or Excel), so the Editor formats them correctly when you load them.
Using a snippet
- Open the Snippets panel from the side rail, or go to the full Snippets page from the portal.
- Filter by Team or Private at the top, or search by name.
- Click a snippet to load it into a new editor tab. From there you can tweak it, run the translator, or insert it directly.
Managing snippets
- Edit — update the formula, name, or visibility.
- Delete — remove a snippet you no longer need.
- Search & filter — scoped to your workspace.
Private vs. team snippets
- Private snippets are bound to your user. Only you see them.
- Team snippets are bound to the workspace. Every member of the workspace can see and use them, which makes them a good home for shared templates and standard calculations.
The Team toggle only appears if your plan’s canShareSnippets capability is on. Starter and trial workspaces are private-only.
Quotas
Each plan caps the total number of snippets via maxSnippets. When you’re close to the cap, the panel shows a progress bar. Once you hit it, saving is disabled until you delete something or upgrade — see Billing & Plans.
Sync
Snippets live in Firestore under your workspace and sync automatically across Google Sheets, Excel, and the web portal.
Tips
- Use clear names: “VLOOKUP — product price by SKU” is better than “Lookup 1”.
- Snippets preserve custom variables (
@@name), so they stay readable when you load them in a spreadsheet that defines those variables. - Shared team snippets are a great way to enforce a single “house” version of a formula.
