Problem
Why this feature exists
Spreadsheet automation is powerful but risky. Users need the macro or Apps Script, but they also need to know where to paste it, how to run it, what it changes, and how to undo or avoid damage.
Approach
How WorkbookWise handles it
WorkbookWise presents scripts as copy-ready output with practical setup steps, what-it-does explanations, where-to-use guidance, undo guidance, safety notes and warnings. The script stays primary; the explanation supports safe use.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does the Scripts page support both Excel and Google Sheets?
Yes. It supports VBA macros and Google Apps Script helpers.
Can it explain existing code?
Yes. Users can paste code and ask what it does, why it fails or how to make it safer.
Should users run every generated script immediately?
No. Users should read setup, safety and warning sections first, especially for delete, overwrite and file export operations.
Will it include undo guidance?
Where practical, the output includes how to undo changes or how to test safely before running on a live workbook.
Why not just show a long code block?
The code is important, but users also need context: where to paste it, what it changes and what can go wrong.
