Yes, all digital products sold by Ardent Workshop can be fully customized. Excel products are password-protected to prevent accidental changes that might interfere with the operation of the tool. If you are proficient in Excel and would like to make changes for personal use (e.g., add rows, change column headings), you may unprotect the workbook with a password provided in the About tab.

All Excel products are designed to work with the latest version of Microsoft Excel or Microsoft 365. They are not guaranteed to work in any other application.

An Excel workbook itself will only run in the latest version of Microsoft Excel or Microsoft 365 — Excel products rely on Excel-only features such as data validation rules, conditional formatting, and named-range Tables that do not translate cleanly to Google Sheets, LibreOffice, or Apple Numbers. However, many of our templates are also offered as a separate Google Sheets version of the same product, and several are sold as a Bundle that includes both the Excel and Google Sheets versions for one price. If you need to work in Sheets, check the product page or browse the catalog for a matching Sheets version or Bundle.

However, many of our templates are also offered as a separate Excel version of the same product, and several are sold as a Bundle that includes both the Excel and Google Sheets versions for one price. If you prefer Excel, check the product page or browse the catalog for a matching Excel version or Bundle.

Each PDF product includes multiple page-size variants — typically Letter (8.5 x 11 in), A4 (21 x 29.7 cm), Planner (7 x 9.25 in), and A5 (14.8 x 21 cm) — so you can match the layout to your printer, binder, or planner. Many products also include alternate layout versions for different levels of detail.

Yes. PDF products work well in annotation apps such as GoodNotes and Notability on iPad, and equivalent stylus-friendly PDF apps on Android tablets, so you can write directly on the pages with a stylus instead of printing.

PDF products are designed for handwriting — either on paper after printing or digitally with a stylus in an annotation app — and are not built as fillable forms. Print them or import them into your annotation app, then fill them in by hand.
