Creating a “snapshot” of a spreadsheet.

 Users can now manage spreadsheets 

by using “snapshots.” Snapshots have the look of the original spreadsheet, but 
contain only the values and formatting from that spreadsheet. Other proprietary 
or sensitive data (such as formulas, hidden cells, or document properties) are not 
available within snapshots. Snapshots allow you to share information with 
customers and business partners more securely—reducing concern about exposing 
sensitive data. They are also an ideal way for analysts to create historical views of 
reports for data comparisons and identifying trends.   

 

View Item Right.

 One of the most important features in Office SharePoint Server 

2007 is the View Item Right. This right restricts a user to executing a file on the 
server or gaining access to a snapshot of the values in the visible portions of a 
spreadsheet. The spreadsheet file in its entirety cannot be downloaded and 
opened on a client computer. By using the Report Library in Office SharePoint 
Server 2007, administrators can control who has access to the intellectual 
property, such as formulas and external data sources within a workbook, while 
still allowing users to view and interact with the data through a Web browser and 
in Office Excel 2007. 

Publish to Office SharePoint Server 2007 

Office Excel 2007 works with Excel Services and Office SharePoint Server 2007 to provide 
important benefits that extend beyond simply saving a file to a SharePoint document 
library.  

 

Publish to "trusted" locations.

 Excel Services only renders files that are stored 

in administrator-configured folders. Excel communicates with Office SharePoint 
Server 2007 to publish a list of these locations specified by the IT administrator. 

 

Publish specific pieces of a spreadsheet.

 When you publish a document to 

Office SharePoint Server 2007, you can control whether the viewer sees an entire 
spreadsheet, specific sheets within a spreadsheet, or charts, tables, PivotTable 
views, and Named Ranges within a spreadsheet.
