{% endhint %}

## Performance

Google Spreadsheets is our preferred Spreadsheet. It consistently works and is performance. However, keep in mind that the more tabs on your Google Spreadsheet, the longer a sync will take.

## Sheet Tabs Naming Options

These options allow finer grained control of which sheet tabs are synced and when they are synced.

Some notes:

* All options are case insensitive
* Options can be combined and used multiple times
* Each option must have a space before it 
* An option can appear anywhere in the sheet tab name

### Disable Sheet Tab

To always ignore a tab from syncing, include "**--noCS**" in the tab name.

#### Examples

A sheet tab with the name `ComponentContents` will sync.

`ComponentContents --noCS` or `--noCS ComponentContents` will not sync.

### Enable Sheet Tabs for Specific Content Versions

You can set a sheet tab to sync only for specific content versions using "**--CSVersion=\<version>**". You can include this option multiple times and with other options.

#### Examples

`ComponentContents --CSVersion=english` will only sync on content version "english".

`ComponentContents --CSVersion=v1 --CSVersion=v3` will only sync on content version "v1" and "v3" and will not sync on version v2 or any others.

### Disable Sheet Tabs For Specific Content Versions

You can also set a tab to be ignored for a specific content version using "**--notCSVersion=\<version>**". You can include this option multiple times.

#### Examples

`ComponentContents --notCSVersion=english` will sync on call content versions except for version "english".

`ComponentContents --notCSVersion=v1 --notCSVersion=v3` will not sync its contents one content version v1 or v3 but will sync on content version v2 and others.&#x20;
