FAQs

1. Can you edit the tick mark entered in Excel when you use the Validation Snip?
   When creating a Validation Snip, by default a green 'V' will be entered in the Excel worksheet. It is currently not possible to change the default tick mark. After you have created the Snip you can change the content of the cell, its color, font, and font size and this should not impact the link between the cell and the snip on the linked document.
   
   Note that when you change a Text Snip to a Validation Snip, the content of the cell remains the same but the font and cell color will change.
   
   You can also use the “Find and Replace” functionality in Excel to automatically replace all Validation Snip contents at once.
