Frequently Asked Questions
How should I prompt Tracelight to get the best results?
The most effective way to work with Tracelight is to be specific and provide context. Start by describing what you want to achieve, reference relevant ranges or data, and include any formatting or style preferences.
For complex tasks, break them into smaller steps. If results aren't quite right, provide clear feedback on what needs to change. You can also use Instructions (see below) to set preferences that apply to all chats.
Example: Instead of "make a chart", try "create a line chart showing revenue by month from range A1:B12, with blue lines and a title".

How do I apply analysis that Tracelight has created?
When you ask Tracelight to build Excel analysis, it first generates grids, or "snippets" within the chat window. You then apply these snippets by clicking the "Apply" button in the top right-hand corner of each snippet.

If I edit the Excel file, will Tracelight immediately see the change?
Tracelight works from a representation of your file that it creates when you first open the add-in. After that, it uses a "changelog" to keep track of all changes that have been made to the file since then.
Once a lot of changes have been made, you will likely get best performance from Tracelight by hitting the "refresh sheet context" button at the top left of the add-in.

How does Tracelight handle my data?
Tracelight's customers are some of the most security-conscious organisations in the world. We are SOC2 Type 2-certified. All LLM providers we work with never retain customer data or use it for training purposes.
Pro subscribers have the ability to use Tracelight in "confidential mode", where all spreadsheet data is automatically deleted from our systems at the end of the user session. This ensures maximum data protection for the most confidential work. This setting is enforced by default for all enterprise users.

What are custom commands and how do I use them?
Custom commands are saved prompts that you can access simply by typing "/" in chat. They are best used for repeat Excel workflows.
To create a custom command, click the sliders icon → "Create new command". Give it a name and write your instruction. Examples: "Extract revenue data into a table" or "Build a 3-statement model with my preferred layout".
You can add ranges as context to these instructions. For optimal performance, you can add previously completed "golden answers" or templates.

Does Tracelight's performance deteriorate over long chats? How should I handle that?
Tracelight will automatically manage its context in long chats.
However, for optimal performance, we recommend starting a new chat when you reach a natural breakpoint in your work. You can hit "+" to start a new chat. Your previous chat will be saved and you can continue working in it any time. Note that the new chat won't know what you've just been working on.
