Editing, Dragging & Export
This page is for the moment when you have already started building a calculation page and need to reorganize it. The focus is what to do in common editing situations.
Drag numbers
To move a number into another formula, select it first, then drag it to the target position.
Use this when you want to:
- Reuse an existing result in another formula
- Rearrange the calculation order inside one line
- Reposition content in free layout
Drag an entire formula row
To reorder a formula, select the = sign first, then drag the whole row.
- In vertical layout, this is usually for changing row order.
- In free layout, you can also place the row in a new position on the canvas.
Add dividers and notes
Besides numbers and formulas, you can insert text content to:
- Add a heading
- Create a section break
- Leave a note
- Explain a group of formulas
If one page contains several topics, adding dividers first and then dragging items into place is clearer than stacking formulas only.
Copy content
Long-press a number or formula to copy it, then paste it into another app.
- If you only want to show someone the result, copying or exporting an image is usually clearer.
- If you need to preserve the full structure, export a file.
Export an image
Open the export menu from the top toolbar and choose Save Image to export the current calculation page as an image.
Use image export for:
- Sharing with coworkers or friends
- Sending to chat, notes, or social apps
- Keeping a presentation-ready snapshot of a calculation
Export a file
Open the export menu from the top toolbar and choose Save File to export a .flexicalc file.
Use file export for:
- Backing up the current page
- Moving a page between devices
- Sending a page to another FlexiCalc user for further editing
Import a file
In the page list, tap Import to import a .flexicalc file as a new calculation page.
