# Add Sheet (preview)

> Add Sheet activity that adds a new sheet to an existing Apple Numbers spreadsheet.

`UiPath.AppleNumbers.Activities.AddSheet`

## Description

Adds a new sheet to an existing Apple Numbers spreadsheet.

This activity appends a new sheet to a spreadsheet and returns its actual name. You can specify a name, or leave it empty to use the default name Numbers assigns. You can also choose how to handle a sheet that already has the same name.

:::note
This package only runs on macOS systems with Apple Numbers installed.

## Project compatibility

Windows | Cross-platform

## Configuration

You can configure the activity and its properties as follows:

* **File (local path)** - The path to the Apple Numbers spreadsheet file.
  + **Use a File Resource** - Switches to a file resource reference instead of a plain path. You can browse for a file in either mode; this only changes how the reference is stored.
  + **Use Local File** - Switches back to the plain path field, restoring your previous value.
* **Sheet name** - The name for the new sheet. Leave empty to use the default name Numbers assigns, for example, `Sheet 2`.

### Properties panel

#### Options
* **Conflict resolution** - What to do if a sheet with the same name already exists. Doesn't apply if you leave **Sheet name** empty, since there's no name to check against. Select one of the following options:
  + **Overwrite** - Deletes the existing sheet and creates a new one.
  + **Don't Replace** - Throws an exception. This is the default option.
  + **Rename** - Appends a numeric suffix to create a unique sheet name, for example, `My Sheet 2`.

#### Output
* **Sheet name** - The actual name of the created sheet. It may differ from the requested name when you use the Rename conflict resolution option, or when you leave **Sheet name** empty and Numbers assigns a default name.
