Release Notes
Improved Spreadsheet Rendering
Harvey now supports native CSV and Excel file viewing to deliver a faster, more reliable performance with cell-level citations.
What’s New
Harvey now includes a native viewer for CSV and Excel files in Assistant.
The native CSV and Excel viewer provides several improvements:
- Faster processing — spreadsheet processing time is reduced by up to 60%
- More reliable uploads — near-100% success rates across file sizes
- Cell-level citations — references point directly to the specific spreadsheet cells used in responses
- Higher-fidelity previews — formatting, layout, and multi-sheet structure remain intact
Why It Matters
This improves spreadsheet reliability, preserves formatting, and enables cell-level citations in responses.
How to Use
- Open Assistant.
- Upload a CSV or Excel file (.csv, .xlsx) using the file upload button.
- Enter your prompt asking Harvey to analyze or summarize the spreadsheet.
- Review the response, which may include cell-level citations referencing specific rows or columns.
