Spreadsheet backup

Under Settings → Spreadsheet you can download your whole collection as an .xlsx file (Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers), edit it and upload it again. It's also a handy backup. The file and the upload report are in English.

The file

• The first tab, Instructions, explains everything below.
• Then one tab per dex group you show (Caught, Shiny, Lucky, XXL-XXS…), with a column per dex: e.g. shadow, shadow_shiny, purified, purified_shiny.
• One row per form, always every form. Where a dex tracks gender, a ♀ row follows the ♂ row.
• Fill in TRUE (ticked), FALSE or empty (not ticked), or WANTED (ticked and wanted).
• Cells left empty in the download (not released, or a ♀ row where that dex doesn't track gender) are ignored.

Uploading

1. Choose the file and press Check file. Nothing is saved yet.
2. The summary shows, per tab and dex, what gets ticked, unticked and (no longer) wanted, and what the tick rules change on top (e.g. Caught ticked because of a Lucky tick).
3. Cells that can't be used are listed per tab and row, with the reason; Copy list copies them so you can fix the file.
4. Press Save changes, or Cancel.

The rules are the same as in the app: a shiny needs its regular tick; Lucky, XXL, XXS and 100% need Caught; unticking a dex unticks what depends on it. Tabs or columns you delete leave those dexes as they are, and dexes you've switched off are never changed.
