Bulk Save
Excel View stages all your changes and lets you save them all at once.
Save Flow​
- Edit cells across multiple rows — all changes are staged in memory
- A save indicator in the toolbar shows the number of unsaved rows
- Press Ctrl+S or click Save in the Home tab
- A progress bar appears as Excel View saves rows in parallel
- A success toast confirms: "Saved X rows"
Parallel Saves​
Excel View saves multiple rows simultaneously (up to 5 parallel API calls). For 100 modified rows, this typically takes 3–8 seconds depending on server load.
Save Results​
After a bulk save:
| Result | Visual |
|---|---|
| All rows saved | Green success toast, rows return to white |
| Some rows failed | Red error toast per failed row with Frappe error message |
| Server unreachable | Warning toast, all rows remain in pending state |
Failed rows retain their amber modification indicator so you can identify and fix them.
Auto-Save​
Excel View does not auto-save on a timer. All saves are intentional (Ctrl+S or Save button). This mirrors Excel's behavior and prevents accidental data writes.
Discarding Changes​
Press Ctrl+Z to undo your last cell change.
To discard all pending changes: click Refresh in the toolbar (or press Ctrl+Shift+R). This reloads data from Frappe and discards all unsaved changes. A confirmation dialog appears before discarding.
