Product update: getting your spreadsheets and docs into Local Magik just got easier
Most of the work a Magik Button does starts with something you already have: a customer list in a spreadsheet, a price sheet in Excel, a doc full of notes. So we spent the last couple of days on one thing — making it faster to get that stuff into Local Magik.
Here's what changed.
Drag a file anywhere
On the Sheets page or the Docs page, drop a file onto the page and it imports. CSV, Excel, Word, Markdown. No hunting for the right button first.
One Import button
If you'd rather click, there's now a single Import button on each page that asks where the file is coming from:
- Sheets: a CSV or Excel file, or a Google Sheet.
- Docs: a Word or Markdown file, or a Google Doc.
Import from Google Sheets and Google Docs
Pick a sheet or doc in Google's own picker — the same one you use in Drive — and Local Magik copies it into an editable Sheet or Doc in your workspace. It's a one-time copy, not a live link, so you can edit it freely without touching the original.
If you haven't connected Google yet, the import window connects it right there and brings you back to finish.
Smarter Excel import
Excel files are rarely clean, so the importer got better at reading them the way a person would:
- Every tab in the workbook imports, not just the first one.
- The key column is detected automatically, and names are filled in for you.
- Templates with a title above the table are read correctly — the importer finds the real header row.
- Blank formula cells show a notice instead of stopping the import, and only when a number was expected there.
Smaller fixes
- Error messages on the Sheets page can be closed with an ×, instead of sticking around until you reload.
- Row buttons on Sheets are one consistent size and match Docs.
- Running a button on a single row of a Sheet now uses the real Magik Button — the coral dome you already know — in the grid and on Kanban cards.
Everything above is live today. If you've been holding off because your data was "in a spreadsheet somewhere," now's a good time to drag it in.
