Introducing Spreadsheet Editor In-App Chart Support
Mia Perese
This spring, the Web SDK introduces new ways to review and work with documents, text, and data. One of the biggest updates is in-app chart interaction in Spreadsheet Editor, allowing users to refine data and visuals without leaving their workbook.
Why Chart Interaction Matters
Charts are essential for interpreting trends and making data-driven decisions. WebViewer has long supported chart rendering for viewing and comparison, which is well-suited for use cases where spreadsheets are not the primary document someone is working with.
However, the true native Excel experience users expect is delivered through the Spreadsheet Editor add-on. In this environment, users work in a familiar grid layout, access a customizable toolset, and interact seamlessly with charts and the underlying data that powers them.
A Native, Excel-like Chart Editing Experience
With this update, Spreadsheet Editor renders any charts that already exist in imported XLSX files with full fidelity. Once a spreadsheet is uploaded, users can edit chart data either directly in cells or by selecting and adjusting elements within the charts. All updates are preserved on export.
This in-app functionality makes software feel a little more intuitive when handling reporting or planning tasks.

What Users Can Do with In-App Chart Support
- View spreadsheet data and chart visuals in a single environment
- Refine how data is visualized without leaving the file
- Maintain fidelity when the spreadsheet is shared or reused elsewhere
Refining Data Visuals and Spreadsheet Workflows
Less than a year since its launch, Spreadsheet Editor continues to expand editing capabilities for XLSX-heavy workflows.
If your users also work with text-based documents or need to compare multiple files simultaneously, the Web SDK’s latest release introduces other essential features to support these tasks. DOCX Editor now includes comments for providing in-document feedback without altering content. Multiviewer allows editing while viewing files side-by-side. Together, these updates make it easier for users to transition between data, documents, and comparisons without disrupting their workflow.
