Problem
Why this feature exists
Sometimes people need to see workbook data but should not receive the whole file. Sharing the XLSX can expose private columns, helper formulas or rows outside their need.
Approach
How WorkbookWise handles it
Share Data lets the owner choose safe columns and filters, preview the public table, and publish a read-only link that can be paused later.
