Edit or rename worksheets
Anyone with the proper permissions can edit a worksheet. If you created a worksheet, or you have edit permissions on it, you can make changes such as adding sources and columns, adding or editing formulas, changing relationships, and changing column names. You can also rename a worksheet or change its description.
Alternatively, you can export a worksheet as a flat file in TML, ThoughtSpot’s Modeling Language, edit the file, and import the file to the same or another cluster. See Migrate or restore objects.
