Think of a Workbook as the top-level overview of a model. Workbooks consist of a top-level optional statement view, typically made of data derived from its Block components.

In the view above we can see that the P&L statement view consists of a combination of single and detailed line items from the Profit & Loss Blocks seen in the navigation bar.

Customizing a Workbook table view

  1. Click the Link button at the bottom of a Workbook table view

  2. Search or scroll to find an individual line item or a full Block to sync into your table view

  3. This will add and save the item to the bottom of your table view

Drill-Down into the Model

Workbooks aren't just for show. Expand nested Blocks in a table view to drill down to detailed account views. On line items connected to accounting integrations, we can click the Transactions tab to view real-time individual transactions that make up the account.
