Spreadsheet documents are presented by many formats: XLS, XLSX, XLSM, XLSB, ODS, SXC and others, which are supported by GroupDocs.Editor Cloud.
There several steps that usage of GroupDocs.Editor Cloud consists of:
Upload input document into cloud storage
Load the document into editable representation in the cloud storage (HTML file and resources)
Download HTML document (and resources, if needed) from storage
Edit HTML document at client side
Upload HTML document back into the storage
Save the edited document into Spreadsheet format in the storage
Download saved document
Steps 1, 3, 4, 5 are storage operations, please refer to this Storage Operations) for usage details. Step 4 is a custom edit operation that can be performed with the programming language or 3rd party tools.
Below is a detailed description of steps 2 and 6.

Using an SDK (API client) is the quickest way for a developer to speed up the development. An SDK takes care of a lot of low-level details of making requests and handling responses and lets you focus on writing code specific to your particular project. Check out our GitHub repository for a complete list of GroupDocs.Editor Cloud SDKs along with working examples, to get you started in no time. Please check the article to learn how to add an SDK to your project.
