What is move sheet in Google Sheets?
Move Sheet changes sheet structure or layout: frozen panes, hidden rows, column width, inserts, deletes, or tab order. Layout choices affect readability and what collaborators can accidentally break.
When to use it
Use layout tools when headers must stay visible, clutter should hide, or columns need consistent width for printing.
When to skip it
Skip hiding or freezing when a filter view or separate presentation tab already gives readers a clean surface.

Freeze rows and columns
Freezing locks the top rows or left columns in place while the rest of the sheet scrolls. View > Freeze lets you pin one row, two rows, or up to the current selection. Frozen panes keep headers and row labels visible on long trackers and financial models.
Read guide →duplicate rows and tabs
Duplicating inside a workbook means copying a sheet tab or repeating row data for another entry. Right-click a tab and choose Duplicate to clone an entire sheet with formulas adjusted for the new tab name. For rows, copy-paste or drag-fill copies values and formats, which is fast but risky for unique IDs unless you regenerate keys in a helper column.

Merge cells combines a rectangular selection into one display cell. Only the top-left cell value survives; others are discarded. Merged blocks suit dashboard titles and form-like layouts but break many data operations. Use merge sparingly on tables that sort, filter, or feed formulas.
