Apr 29, 2026Hey isalnun- I am assuming this was answered earlier, however, just to put things in perspective, what you see is an expected behavior. Excel permissions apply at the workbook level, not the sheet level so if you share or attach the file, recipients can see all sheets.
To send only one sheet, use one of these options:

- Move/Copy the sheet to a new workbook and attach that file
- Export the active sheet as PDF (Print→ Print Active sheets)
Hiding or protecting sheets won’t prevent access if the full workbook is shared.
