To test our add-ins on different hardware, OS and Excel versions, we use a lot of software configurations and devices.
Devices:
OS versions:
Microsoft Excel versions:
Browsers for Excel on the web and our Excel add-ins:
Some issues persist in Excel on the web 
and/or in desktop Excel 
because of browser or platform limitations, namely:
| Where persists | Issue |
|---|---|
 |
Microsoft Excel disables all modern add-ins (including Text Toolkit) for all old-format Excel files (.xls, .xlm, etc.). Only .xlsx files are allowed. |
|
Text Toolkit processes cell values ignoring their Number Format. |
|
The Undo feature doesn’t restore array formulas. |
|
The Undo feature doesn’t restore formulas that refer to cells as table columns, e.g. Table1[@Column1]. |
|
Because of platform limitations, Text Toolkit might work incorrectly when several users change the same workbook simultaneously. |
|
Excel has an issue because of which preceding apostrophes cannot be restored by Undo. For example, the alphanumeric string ‘123 is restored as the number 123. |
|
In Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and Edge, Text Toolkit doesn’t work correctly for private browsing or when the browser is set to never remember the browsing history. |
|
In Safari, Excel Online has a bug because of which Excel’s vertical scrollbar is partially overlapped by the add-in pane. |
|
In Excel on the web (Excel Online), the add-in shows an empty task pane and doesn’t work if third-party cookies are disabled. |
|
Excel Online displays the "Sorry, new columns cannot be added to the selected range" alert when the size of your workbook exceeds the Excel Online limitations. |
|
Excel Online may display the "add-in error" alert when the size of your workbook exceeds the Excel Online limitations. |
|
In Windows, Excel has a bug because of which the add-in UI is scaled incorrectly when several displays with different screen resolutions and dpi settings are connected. |
|
On Windows 10 1803 and 1809, Excel hosts its add-ins using the outdated IE 10 or IE 11, so the add-in may crash if your workbook contains a lot of data. Please update your Windows and Office to make Edge the host of Excel add-ins. |
We've included three new add-ins in our Text Toolkit collection: Regex Tools, Merge Cells, and Combine Rows.
Hope you'll find them helpful.
In Beta 2, several minor bugs were fixed.
The very first public beta version was published.
