# Customizing the Individual Sheet Appearance

Learn how to customize the appearance of individual sheets within a workbook and optimize user interaction with Spread component.

## Content



You can have multiple sheets within a workbook. Each sheet is a separate spreadsheet and can have its own appearance and settings for user interaction. Each sheet has a unique name and sheet name tab for easy navigation between sheets.

These tasks relate to setting the appearance of the individual sheets inside the Spread component:

Other tasks that relate to the sheet appearance, but are part of the appearance of the Spread component include:

*   [Customizing the Outline of the Component](/spreadnet/docs/latest/online-win/overview/spwin-devguide/spwin-setappearance/spwin-appearcell/spwin-appearcontrolborder)
*   [Customizing the Sheet Name Tabs](/spreadnet/docs/latest/online-win/overview/spwin-devguide/spwin-ssobject-sheet/spwin-appearsheetnames)
*   [Working with Hierarchical Data Display](/spreadnet/docs/latest/online-win/overview/spwin-devguide/spwin-data-binding/spwin-databind-hierarchy)

When you work with sheets, you can manipulate the objects using the short cuts in code, ([SheetView](/spreadnet/api/latest/online-win/FarPoint.Win.Spread/FarPoint.Win.Spread.SheetView.html) and [SheetViewCollection](/spreadnet/api/latest/online-win/FarPoint.Win.Spread/FarPoint.Win.Spread.SheetViewCollection.html) classes) or you can directly work with the model. Most developers who are not changing anything drastically find it easy to work with the short cut objects. For more information on models, refer to [Understanding the Underlying Models](/spreadnet/docs/latest/online-win/overview/spwin-devguide/spwin-usemodels).

Settings applied to a particular row or column or cell can override the settings that are set at the sheet level. Refer to [Object Parentage](/spreadnet/docs/latest/online-win/overview/spwin-devguide/spwin-ssojbects/spwin-knowobjparentage).

For more details on the objects involved, refer to the [SheetView](/spreadnet/api/latest/online-win/FarPoint.Win.Spread/FarPoint.Win.Spread.SheetView.html) class and [SheetViewCollection](/spreadnet/api/latest/online-win/FarPoint.Win.Spread/FarPoint.Win.Spread.SheetViewCollection.html) class.
