The free Store package is Core. Pro is launching soon (planned $7.99/mo, $69/yr, or $149 lifetime, with a 14-day free trial). It will add trace dependents, goal seek, and what-if tables, and future Pro tools will be included at no extra cost.

Open the SheetSpeed launcher on the sheet and confirm shortcuts are enabled. Control chords are held together; Option/Alt sequences are pressed in order within a short window. Focus must be on the document, not an open dialog.

Coinbase-style managed Chrome blocks Developer mode and unknown Store apps. Ask IT to allowlist Store ID ljlmgielacploapelnjhodicgbjipcaa from the Chrome Web Store (Allow or Force install). Load unpacked is not a path there. SheetSpeed does not bypass policy.
