"View > New Window" functionality to open new stand-alone instance

I want to be able to open a new stand-alone instance of the same spreadsheet and would like to be able to access/edit both instances simultaneously.

In Excel & WPS you get to this functionality via “View” > “New Window”.

If this is not currently a feature can you please add?

Hello @fred319

Unfortunately, right now there is no way to open a separate window in our Desktop Editors.
However, we have created a suggestion number 61605 to add such functionality in future releases.

Thank you for suggestion this feature.

Hello @Constantine and @fred319
Is there an update on this? Having a second window open that shows the same document (or spreadsheet) is indeed very useful when working with long text documents (eg for cross-referencies, etc.) or spreadsheet-workbook with several (interacting) worksheets.
I still can’t find the functionality - however it might be my fault.
If not, please I’d like to support the demand for this functionality.
Thanks for all the precious work being done to get a good - in many respects already even better - alternative to ms!
Btw: The “draft”-view in ms Word is also a feature I miss, and the ability to work simul
Best regards, Urs

Unfortunately, this suggestion is not implemented yet. I will forward your query to the existing enhancement.
