Spreadsheet Track Changes | Rockhopper

Track changes, but for spreadsheets.

Word has it. Google Docs has it. Your financial models never did — until now. See exactly what changed between any two versions, sessions, or users.

Use cases

Built for teams where every number has a consequence. The same feature, different stakes. Here's how FP&A and Capital Markets teams put cell-level tracking to work.

FP&A

Budget cycles, operating models, board decks

“Who changed the revenue assumption before I sent the board deck?”

Situation
CFO review in 2 hours. Revenue is $8M lower than the version you presented last week. You need the answer in 30 seconds, not 30 minutes of Excel forensics.

What Rockhopper shows
Rockhopper's Microsoft Excel Add-in highlights every changed cell directly inside your spreadsheet and surfaces a full change log with quantitative impact — so you see both where it changed and what it cost you.

Capital Markets

Deal models, investor materials, live transactions

“Did anyone touch the model after I locked it for the management presentation?”

Situation
Your LBO model was locked Monday evening. The management presentation is Tuesday at 9am. You need certainty that no analyst touched the returns table overnight — before it goes in front of the CEO and the sponsor.

What Rockhopper shows
Rockhopper's Microsoft Excel Add-in flags every post-lock edit in red directly on the returns table and surfaces the full change log — including the analyst who made the edit, the exact cells touched, and the IRR impact — before anyone distributes the deck.

Core features

Four capabilities. One complete picture. Every feature in cell-level tracking exists to answer the same question finance teams ask a hundred times a year: exactly what happened to this number?

01 — Full Edit History

Every change, preserved indefinitely
Every change to every cell, preserved indefinitely. Compare any two versions side by side. Never lose a prior assumption, a corrected formula, or an overridden input.

02 — User Attribution

Every edit tagged to its author
Every edit is tagged to the person who made it — not the file, not the session. Know immediately whether a change came from the Controller, a junior analyst, or an AI agent.

03 — Materiality Filters

See only what moves your numbers
Set your own dollar or percentage threshold. Filter your change log to show only what crosses it. Stop reviewing every cell. Start reviewing the changes that actually require sign-off.

04 — Timestamp Logging

Reconstruct how a model evolved
Every change carries a precise timestamp — date, time, and sequence order. Reconstruct exactly how a model evolved from first draft to final sign-off. Essential for audit trails.

Full edit history in depth

Every cell. Every version. Side by side.
Rockhopper captures a complete cell-level diff every time a version is created — so you can compare any two points in a model's history without opening both files.

Materiality filters in depth

Filter by what matters. Ignore what doesn't.
Not every change deserves a review. Set your materiality threshold — by dollar amount or percentage — and Rockhopper surfaces only the changes that cross it.

Side-by-side comparison

Two versions. One screen. Every difference highlighted.
Rockhopper's split view puts two versions of your spreadsheet next to each other with every change highlighted — so you can verify edits in context without switching between files.

Conclusion

Rockhopper gives every number in your model a complete, attributed, timestamped history — from first draft to final sign-off. Trust your spreadsheets.
