2. We recommend using the default Right Alt / Alt Gr + “B” hotkey for the live insert.
3. Use your mouse or arrow keys to select an item.
4. You can filter by file by selecting the respective file in the dropdown menu.
5. You can search for a specific item by entering your keywords in the search bar.
6. If some of the values in your Excel workbooks have changed you can use the Refresh button to update a single file or update all files.
