Upcoming webinar you should not miss In this live conversation, Christina Kallai, Director of Internal Audit at Salesforce, and Chris Ortega, CEO of Fresh FP&A, unpack what finance leaders actually expect from Internal Audit today and why many audit teams struggle to meet those expectations, even when the work is technically sound. This session goes beyond theory to explore how leading organizations are rethinking evidence, alignment, and audit’s role in the business and what separates teams that are seen as trusted partners from those that are still viewed as a compliance function. Link : https://www.datasnipper.com/resources/how-internal-audit-delivers-cfo

Is there anyway to stop Datasnipper loading up when open a spreadsheet - each time it opens you have to wait while the PDFs load up. But often I don’t want to reference a PDF so it delays opening files, particularly files with lots of PDFs.

Hi team,  I know how frustrating it is when using DataSnipper for testing with validation snips, the preparer can see all documents and snips, but reviewers (e.g., colleagues) see an error message when opening the workbook, even after the documents and snips were exported and saved to a shared location. What you need to check, first thing first is:"Include PDFs in Excel" setting is turned off in the workbook.When this setting is disabled, documents are not embedded correctly, preventing other users from viewing the snips or attached files. It can also be related to co-authoring setup or version mismatches among team members.  Resolution Steps1. Check the “Include PDFs in Excel” SettingOpen the affected workbook in DataSnipper. Go to DataSnipper Settings and ensure “Include P

Short answerDataSnipper has no hard limit on the number of files you can export at once.You can use the Export button to export:The current PDF, or All imported PDFs to a folder of your choiceWhy exports may fail at high volumes (200–500 files)If a user can export in batches (e.g., 20–30 files) but struggles with 200–500 files, especially with Snips, markups, and comments included, this is typically a hardware/memory constraint, not a DataSnipper restriction. Large export jobs can exceed available memory capacity.Recommended best practices before exporting large batchesReduce workbook + document load first:Compress imported documents (via DataSnipper’s document management options) Temporarily switch off “Include PDFs in Excel” to reduce w
