Abstract
A system for spreadsheet region and cell sharing includes an interface and a processor. The interface is to receive an indication to modify a first cell of a first document, wherein a first user is associated with the first document and with a first set of user access descriptors. The processor is to determine whether the first user has write permission for the first cell based on the first set of user access descriptors; and in the event that the first user has write permission: indicate a modification to a location in a database storage location referenced by a pointer formula associated with the first cell; and modify a second cell in a second document based on a dependency graph, wherein the second document is associated with a second user different from the first user.
