Assignment – 14:
Sharing and Reviewing a Spreadsheet in LibreOffice Calc

Task:
Collaborate on a shared spreadsheet, track changes, add comments, and resolve conflicts in a
shared document.

Aim:
To learn how to share a spreadsheet, enable change tracking, add comments, and manage
conflicts during collaboration in LibreOffice Calc.

Procedure:
1. Create and Share a Spreadsheet:
o Open LibreOffice Calc and create a new spreadsheet.
o Enter the following data:
A B
Task Status
Design Pending
Development In Progress
Testing Not Started
o Save the spreadsheet as TeamCollaboration.ods.
o Go to Tools > Share Spreadsheet and check Share this spreadsheet with other
users.
o Confirm by clicking OK.
2. Simulate Collaboration:
o Open the shared spreadsheet on another device or instance of LibreOffice.
o Update the Status column with new information (e.g., "Completed" for Design).
o Save the changes.
 3. Resolve Conflicts:
o On the original device, make a different update to the Status column for Design
(e.g., "In Review").
o Save the changes and observe the Resolve Conflict dialog.
o Choose to keep or replace the changes as appropriate.
4. Track Changes:
o Disable shared mode (Tools > Share Spreadsheet, uncheck the box, and click
OK).
o Enable Track Changes by selecting Edit > Track Changes > Record.
o Make edits to the Status column, such as updating "Testing" to "Completed."
o Note that changes are highlighted, and details appear when you hover over them.
5. Add Comments:
o Right-click the cell for Development and select Insert Comment.
o Enter a comment like: "Ensure all dependencies are resolved."
o Save the spreadsheet.
6. Review Changes:
o Go to Edit > Track Changes > Manage to review, accept, or reject changes.
7. Compare Documents:
o Save a copy of the spreadsheet as TeamCollaboration_v2.ods.
o Modify some entries in the copy.
o Open the original file and go to Edit > Track Changes > Compare Document.
o Select the modified file and review the differences.

Result:
You will have successfully shared, edited, tracked changes, added comments, resolved
conflicts, and compared versions of a spreadsheet.

Expected Output:
1. Collaborative Updates:
The shared spreadsheet reflects updates from multiple users with resolved conflicts.
2. Tracked Changes:
Changes are highlighted in red with details visible on hover.
3. Comments:
Cells with comments display a small colored marker, and comments are accessible on
hover or right-click.
4. Comparison:
Differences between two versions of the spreadsheet are clearly visible in the
comparison dialog.
This exercise demonstrates how to effectively collaborate, review, and manage shared
spreadsheets in LibreOffice Calc.
