The Problem

Excel has no way to organize tabs

Excel has no built-in way to organize worksheet tabs. If you work with workbooks that have 20, 50, or 100+ worksheets — financial models, data imports, multi-department reports — you're stuck scrolling left and right through an endless row of tiny tabs.

You can color-code tabs, but that doesn't reduce the visual noise. You can right-click and "Select All Sheets," but there's no way to group related sheets into folders, collapse them when you don't need them, or create a logical hierarchy.

This is a problem Microsoft has never addressed. Power users have asked for tab grouping in UserVoice for years. The closest workaround — hiding sheets — is clunky and requires unhiding them individually.

The Solution

Drag, drop, collapse, done

SheetGuard adds a Tab Folders panel to your Excel sidebar. Create folders, drag worksheets into them, and collapse or expand groups with a single click.

Folders are stored in your workbook's custom properties — no external files, no cloud sync needed. When you share the workbook, the folder structure travels with it (if the recipient has SheetGuard installed).

The free tier includes 2 folders — enough to organize a typical workbook into "Input" and "Output" groups. Pro users get unlimited folders for complex workbooks.

Common questions about Tab Folders

How many folders can I create in the free tier?
The free tier includes 2 tab folders. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited folders.
Do tab folders change my actual worksheet structure?
No. Tab folders are visual organizers stored in your workbook settings. Your worksheets remain unchanged — folders just help you navigate them.
