Whereas EtherCalc's current flow is to either import a document or create a document.\r\n\r\nThe implementation I am using inside Sandstorm, basically has a single new document option, so it goes directly to the document editor. I'm dubious of my own ability to implement this, but it'd be great if there was a way to access the data import functionality from inside the spreadsheet editor. With, I assume, a warning about the incoming data overwrite if you proceed.\r\n\r\nA use case for this that would also apply to ethercalc.org was if you had a shared EtherCalc URL for sharing data with someone, but you have been editing via a desktop app, like Excel, and wanted to update the entire sheet, at the same URL with what you've been working on offline."}}
