# Sheets

> Structured, spreadsheet-like data your team and agents can read and update together.

Sheets give your team a lightweight database inside Hops. Use them to track candidates, log research, brainstorm messaging, or keep a CRM-style pipeline — anything that fits into rows and columns.

Like docs, sheets live inside a Space, so your agents can read and update them as part of that Space's context.

Open the **Tables** tab from the left sidebar to browse every sheet you have access to.

## The Sheets view

Sheets are grouped in three sections:

* **Starred** — sheets you've marked as favorites.
* **Shared with me** — sheets someone else has shared with you.
* **Recent** — sheets you've opened most recently.

Each row shows the sheet's **Name** and its **Location**. Use **Search** to filter.

## Create a sheet

* Click **+ New table** at the top of the Tables sidebar.
* Or click the global **+** button in the left sidebar and choose **Table**.

New sheets start empty. Add columns, then rows.

## Working with a sheet

A sheet opens in **Grid view**, with column headers across the top and one row per record.

| Control         | What it does                                 |
| --------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| **Grid view**   | Switch between saved views of the same data  |
| Search          | Find a row by any cell value                 |
| Filter          | Show only rows that match a condition        |
| Sort            | Order rows by one or more columns            |
| Settings        | Configure the current view                   |
| **New**         | Add a row (or a new view, from the dropdown) |
| **+ New entry** | Add a row at the bottom of the list          |

Click any cell to edit inline. Click a row to open its full record.

## Generate a table with an agent

Any agent in the Space can create a fully-formed table for you. Ask in chat and the sheet is built with columns, populated with rows, and saved into the current Space.

```
@Hops turn this competitor list into a table with pricing, target market, and notes
@Researcher build a tracker of the last 20 job postings for AI PMs
@SDR create a pipeline table from the leads I mentioned yesterday
```

The new table lands in the Space's **Tables** tab immediately — sort, filter, or hand it back to the agent for enrichment.

## Column types

Pick the right type per column so filters, sorts, and agent updates behave predictably.

| Type             | Best for                                       |
| ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| **Text**         | Names, short notes, free-form strings          |
| **Number**       | Counts, prices, scores                         |
| **Date**         | Deadlines, timestamps, close dates             |
| **Select**       | Fixed set of options (status, priority, owner) |
| **Multi-select** | Tags, categories, multiple owners              |
| **Checkbox**     | Boolean state (done, verified, in-scope)       |
| **URL**          | Links to external pages or files               |
| **Person**       | Reference a workspace member                   |

Click a column header to rename, change type, or reorder.

## Views

Save different perspectives of the same data as **views**. Every view has its own filter, sort, and column visibility.

* **Grid** — the default spreadsheet layout.
* **Filtered views** — e.g. "Open deals only," "This quarter," "My rows."
* **Grouped views** — collapse rows by a Select column like status or owner.

Switch views from the view dropdown at the top-left of the sheet.

## Edit alongside your agent

Ask the agent to work directly on the sheet:

* **Enrich** rows — "fill in the `Industry` column for every row from the company's website."
* **Summarize** — "give me a one-paragraph read on this pipeline."
* **Add rows** from a chat message, an email, or a doc.
* **Reconcile** duplicates or normalize inconsistent values.

Updates from an agent appear as tracked changes you can accept or refine.

## Import and export

* **Import CSV** from the sheet's `...` menu to bring in existing data.
* **Export CSV** to send outside Hops.
* **Copy link** to share the sheet with anyone with access to the Space.
* **Duplicate** into another Space to reuse as a template.

## Sheets as agent context

Ask an agent in the Space to fill in missing values, summarize the sheet, or add a row from a chat message. An agent can read and update any sheet in a Space it's a member of.

<Tip>
  Start small. It's easier to teach an agent about a five-column tracker than a fifty-column one.
