EtherCalc fits a focused collaborative table more than a heavily governed workbook system. Agree on columns and editing conventions before sharing, and keep exports so a quick shared sheet does not become the only copy of important data.
Use a sheet for a focused shared dataset and establish column meanings before inviting editors. Keep an export before major changes. Follow the project’s deployment guidance for internet-facing instances, because a room URL and a basic local deployment do not provide a complete access-control policy.
