sidebar
The sidebar is the area to the right of your spreadsheet that shows either the Format inspector or the Organize controls.
Format: Click
in the toolbar to show formatting controls for whatever is selected in the spreadsheet, like a table, chart, text, or a shape. Click the tabs at the top of the sidebar to see more controls.Organize: Click
in the toolbar to show controls for creating sorting rules, filtering, and categories for the spreadsheet.
If the sidebar on the right is open and you click the button in the toolbar for the active controls, the sidebar closes. For example, if the Format button
is selected (with the Format controls in the sidebar) and you click
, the entire sidebar closes. You can also click
to keep the sidebar open and switch to the Organize controls.
