Frequently Asked Questions
Can I edit the data directly in the table?
Yes! Click on any cell to edit its value. When you press Enter, the raw CSV on the left will automatically update to reflect your changes, and the action will be logged in the Edit History.
How does sorting and filtering work?
Click on any column header to open a popup menu. From there, you can sort the table (ascending/descending) based on that specific column, or type into the filter box to narrow down rows containing specific keywords in that column.
Is this tool fast enough for huge files?
Yes, by utilizing virtualization, only the rows currently visible on your screen are rendered. This keeps memory usage low and scrolling incredibly smooth.
Does my data get uploaded?
No. The file is parsed entirely within your browser tab locally. Nothing is transmitted over the internet.
