JKPieterse hi! Thank you, I would like to know for sure. I’m studying for the Microsoft Excel specialist exam. Is they’re someone I can ask for sure?
I'll ask around!
As you suspected, there is no Info tab in Excel for Mac (same for Word and PowerPoint). You can find some of the similar information by going to File menu > Properties. You'll be able to see the similar file properties as on Windows.
The other parts of the Info tab are in other places as well.
- Protect Workbook: You can find "Always Open Read-Only", "Restrict Permissions", and "Passwords..." (encrypt with password) on the File Menu. You can find Sheet and Workbook protection on the Tools menu. Some of these options are also on the Review tab of the ribbon.
- Check for Issues (document inspector): This doesn't exist on Mac. I have an article about it here - https://www.sumproduct.com/blog/article/excel-for-mac-privacy-for-your-workbooks.
- Check for Issues (Accessibility): This option is on the Review tab of the ribbon.
- Check for Issues (Check Compatibility): This option doesn't exist on Mac.
- Version History: Either click on the document name in the title bar at the top of the window or choose File menu > Browse Version History.
- Manage Workbook: You can find the Check Out option on the File menu on Mac. The option to recover unsaved workbooks is automatically shown on Mac when you launch Excel. If there are files to recover, they will be opened and will have a yellow banner asking if you want to save them.
- Reset Changes Pane: You can find this option on the File menu on Mac.
- Browser View Options: This is not available on Mac.
