General functions and spreadsheet interface
Before explaining what each button in the spreadsheet does and how interactions work, here are a few key things to understand:
Each column represents a layer in your design. Some layers include sub-columns for specific parameters.
The first column, Formats, lets you choose which format(s) will be generated for that row.
Each row corresponds to a new variation of your template that will be generated.
If a cell is left empty, Abyssale automatically uses the default value from the design during generation.
When you select a cell, column, sub-column, or row, the toolbar at the top updates dynamically to show the relevant options for your current selection.
Add new Row
From the bottom left of the Abyssale Spreadhseet, click on Add row, to add a new row to your spreadsheet.
💡 Tips : Let cells empty if you don't want to modify the default content of your design for the selected row. Abyssale will get the default value automatically.
So no need to fill each cell if not needed.
Delete one or more row
Select the rows of your spreadsheet you wish to delete by clicking on their numbers on the far left, and you'll see a checkbox to tick as you move your mouse over them.
