* **Upload existing excel file**: uploads an Excel file which is used as a template

{{% alert color="info" %}}If you use an uploaded Excel file as a template, the names of the sheets and columns in your template will be used. However, the background color in your template will be overruled by the **Background color** (including **none**) specified in the applicable style. {{% /alert %}}


* **Sanitize formulas to text**: When enabled, the module automatically sanitizes any string values that begin with potentially dangerous characters:
- `=` (equals)
- `+` (plus)
- `-` (minus/hyphen)
- `@` (at symbol)

{{% alert color="info" %}} When sanitization is enabled, the exporter prepends a apostrophe (`'`) to any string value starting with these
characters. This forces Excel and CSV applications to treat the value as literal text rather than a formula.
Formula sanitization is **disabled by default** for backward compatibility.
Only enable this feature if your exported data may contain user-generated content.
This setting applies to both Excel (.xlsx, .xls, .xlsm) and CSV exports. {{% /alert %}}

* **Worksheets**: contains the following items that you can use to define sheets in an exported document:
* **New**: opens a new [sheet details page](#sheet-details) to create a sheet
* **Edit**: opens the sheet details page for the selected sheet where you can make changes
