VeltSpreadJS

Comments and co-editing, built for SpreadJS

Add comments and co-editing, plus live presence, to your SpreadJS workbook, for your users and your AI agents. Threads stay pinned to the cell as the sheet recalculates, and every agent edit lands as a suggestion your users approve, so the question on a cell stays on that cell.

Free tier. No credit card. First comment in 5 minutes.

The problem

Build this into SpreadJS yourself, and you rebuild it on every release.

Your users expect to comment and co-edit in SpreadJS, and your AI agents need that same workbook with a human approving before they touch user work. Comments that survive SpreadJS's recalcs are a multi-quarter build, and the moment anchoring breaks, feedback lands on the wrong cell. Co-editing is the harder half: rolled by hand it means overwrites, lost work, and merge conflicts, the "my changes disappeared" bug reports, plus a websocket fleet and offline merge to keep alive. And the harder question is your agents: a useful agent needs to change the work, but an agent with write access to user content is what your buyers' security review blocks, so without a consent step you choose between an agent that is useful and an agent that is safe. Every quarter spent on this is a quarter not spent on your own product.

Velt is the review and collaboration layer built for SpreadJS: your users and your AI agents work the same workbook, with comment threads anchored to the cell, and every agent suggestion is a change a human approves before it lands.

Agents as first-class users

Your AI agent comments and suggests on the workbook as a first-class user; a human approves or rejects, and on approve the change fires through your webhook with a permanent record.

Audit trail

Every change to the number, every approval, exportable.

Agent

A checking agent flags the cell where a formula breaks or a number misses the model and comments on it as a first-class user; your reviewer approves the correction, and on approve the change fires through your webhook with a permanent record of who allowed what.

Why Velt

The consent step Liveblocks does not have

Liveblocks syncs people and agents into your app's state; Velt adds the step Liveblocks does not, every agent change on SpreadJS is a suggestion your user approves or rejects, on the record.

Enterprise

Enterprise-grade security and data control

The controls your buyers' security reviews ask for, in writing.

Adding Velt to SpreadJS does not move that surface's content off your stack. Per-feature data providers keep comment content, attachments, and user PII on your own infrastructure; Velt stores only minimal identifiers.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Comments only, or co-editing too?

Both. You can ship comments alone or add co-editing via the CRDT adapter; they are independent capabilities.

Do comments hold across formulas and multiple sheets?

Yes. Comment threads are anchored to the cell reference, not the rendered position, so they survive recalculations and cross-sheet moves.

Do large workbooks work?

Yes. The adapter is designed for production workbook sizes; anchoring is by cell reference, not DOM position.

Can an agent flag an outlier cell, for a human to approve?

Yes. An agent posts a comment or suggestion on the cell as a first-class user, and a human approves or rejects before any value changes.

Is there a record of who approved each change?

Yes. Every approval fires a webhook event and is written to the audit trail, exportable for compliance.

How is Velt priced?

On usage, not seats or integrations: you pay for documents with review activity in a month, with a free tier for development and early production.
