STOP SAVE AS.

Your spreadsheet has 17 versions in a shared drive. Nobody knows which one is right. Rockhopper gives every version context, history, and a single source of truth — so your team always works from the right file.

Rockhopper version control showing changes detected in a financial model

100% Version history retained

0 Files lost, ever

The problem

Excel and Google Sheets ship with a video game timestamp. That's not version control. Auto-save tells you a file was saved at 3:47pm. It doesn't tell you what changed, why, who did it, or whether you're even looking at the right file. Under deadline pressure, that gap costs real money.

01 · No context

A timestamp is not a version

Auto-save logs when a file was touched. It doesn't log what changed, who changed it, or why. You're left forensically opening old versions one at a time hoping you recognize the right one.

02 · Tight deadlines

No time to play file detective

Close is in 4 hours. Your colleague sent you a file. Is it the same version you were working from? Did they update the assumptions? You can't tell without opening both and comparing cell by cell.

"Is this the one with the updated SOFR rate?"

"Which version did we send to the CFO?"

"Someone saved over the approved model."

03 · No alignment

Three people, three versions, zero awareness

Your team is working simultaneously. Comments live in email. Reviews happen in meetings. Changes happen in files. Nobody has the same picture of what the current model actually says.

Comments: email thread (47 replies)

Reviews: Monday standup

Changes: 6 different local copies

04 · No recovery

You can't go back to what you can't find

The approved model from last quarter exists somewhere. It might be in SharePoint. It might be on someone's desktop. It might have been overwritten. "Just revert it" is not a real option without version control.

"The CFO wants the Q2 approved model."

"That was the one before the restructuring..."

"I think Sarah has a copy."

Version control that actually works

Automate context. Align the team. Always work from the right file. Rockhopper brings GitHub-grade version control into Excel and Google Sheets — without making finance teams learn how to code.

01 — Automatic Context

Every version tells its own story

Every save gets a structured context snapshot — who saved it, what changed, and a plain-English summary of the key deltas. The latest file always surfaces automatically.

Change summary Auto-save context Latest version Plain-English deltas

02 — Full History

Revert, restore, and template — in one click

Every version is retained indefinitely. Scroll back to any point and restore it in one click. Lock approved versions as templates so future models inherit the right structure.

03 — Team Alignment

One file. One truth. Full awareness.

Every comment, review note, and approval is anchored to the version it belongs to — not floating in an email thread. Your whole team sees the same picture.

Anchored comments Version-linked reviews Team awareness Single source of truth

Automatic context in depth

Know what changed without opening the file.

Rockhopper produces a structured context snapshot every time a file is saved — so you never have to forensically open old versions again.

Every save captures who made changes, what cells were affected, and a plain-English summary
The latest version surfaces automatically — no hunting through folders or SharePoint
Change summaries are classified by type: structural (formula logic) vs. input (assumptions/data)
Version names and descriptions are auto-generated from the changes detected
Works inside Excel via the add-in and on the web via the Rockhopper dashboard

“Version control and collaboration in Excel are very poor. Rockhopper solved that in a way no other solution we evaluated could. The fact that we can stay in Excel while gaining real control and visibility is exactly what we needed.”
