What you get

Read spreadsheet cells in BB’s file panel, switch between sheets, and keep column letters and row numbers visible while you browse. The table displays merged cells and date values.

The Spreadsheets button in the thread header lists workbooks from the current workspace and thread files. Choose a workbook to open its preview.

Limits

Each sheet displays up to 1,000 rows and 100 columns. A notice shows when the preview is truncated. If a workbook cannot be parsed, BB’s built-in preview is shown with an error message.

This is a read-only preview for .xlsx and .xlsm files. Legacy .xls files are not supported. Formulas are not recalculated and macros are not executed.

Requirements

Requires BB 0.46 or later and Plugin SDK 0.6.49 or later. No external account or separate spreadsheet application is required.

If another viewer takes priority, select Spreadsheet table under Settings → Files → File openers for .xlsx and .xlsm.

File ManagerManage the files on the machine bb runs on without a terminal: browse, upload, move, rename, extract and hand them to the agent. Opens as a sidebar page, as a tab beside a thread that can start in that thread's folder, and from a file link in a message. Double-click shows images, PDF, video, Markdown and code; Space looks inside zip, tar, 7z and rar archives without extracting them. Multi-gigabyte uploads resume after a dropped connection. On a phone, selected rows get an Actions bar with the whole row menu. Access stays inside the home folder of the user bb runs as; tar, 7z and rar archives need tar and 7z on that machine.Foma494
FilesA VS Code-style file explorer and editor for the workspace behind a thread. Search in files finds a word across every file in the project: results are grouped by file with each hit highlighted, and clicking one opens the file on that line. It is smart case, with match-case, whole-word and regex toggles, and built for typing — file contents stay in memory between searches, so refining a query re-runs in tens of milliseconds, and a regex runs in its own worker so a runaway pattern cannot freeze BB. Around it: a file tree that shows dotfiles, editor tabs, a go-to-file palette (Cmd+P), find in the open file (Cmd+F), syntax highlighting in your BB code theme, and edit and save guarded so a change an agent made underneath you is never clobbered. Markdown files open rendered, with the source and the editor one click away. Two pickers choose the project and then its checkout or one of its worktrees; beside a thread it is pinned to that thread's worktree. Adds a `bb files` command so agents can browse and read the same workspace from the CLI, on whichever machine it lives.AbdElrahman Telb332
