Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Hidden and VeryHidden?

Hidden sheets can be un-hidden from the Excel UI. VeryHidden sheets require VBA code to un-hide — they are invisible in the standard sheet tab context menu.

Is it safe to delete all hidden sheets?

Not always — some hidden sheets store lookup data for visible sheet formulas. Review the hidden sheet contents in the preview before deleting.
