The problem
Excel and Google Sheets ship with a video game timestamp. That's not version control.
It doesn't tell you what changed, why, or who did it - and your drive is a wall of files with zero
context to choose between them.
Two people. Two copies. One of them is wrong. Nobody knows yet.
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 guessing games with versions
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
The approved model is out there somewhere. (Probably.)
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 enterprise-grade spreadsheet version control into Excel and Google Sheets — without making finance teams learn how to code. Full audit trail for SOX compliance and financial reviews.
“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.”

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. Real spreadsheet version control means every version is findable, labeled, and one click away.
Infinite retention One-click revert Approved templates Version timeline
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 as a Microsoft Excel add-in and with Google Sheets — no new tools to learn via the Rockhopper dashboard
Full history in depth
Every version. Forever. One click to restore.
Rockhopper retains every version indefinitely with full context — so you can scroll back to any point in a model's history and restore it instantly.
- Infinite version retention — nothing is ever overwritten or lost
- One-click revert with full context of what you're restoring and what you'll lose
- Lock any approved version as a template for future models
- Compare any two versions side-by-side with materiality flags
- Full audit trail of who saved, reverted, or approved each version
