## About Excel with LuumenAI

Operations teams keep real state in spreadsheets: on-call rotations, migration checklists, capacity plans, change logs. Luumen connects to Excel over OAuth2 and reads those workbooks directly — ranges, worksheets, tables, charts — so you can ask questions without opening the file. Changes like adding a table row or a new worksheet are previewed first and, by default, wait for your approval.

## Frequently asked questions

### How does LuumenAI connect to Excel?

Authorize once with OAuth 2.0. Luumen lists the scopes each action needs before you approve the connection, and credentials never appear in the chat.

### Can LuumenAI change things in Excel on its own?

Read actions answer immediately. Anything that writes is shown as a plan and requires approval by default, including the 7 actions classified as destructive. Administrators configure that per tool.

### Is there an audit trail?

Every call to Excel — read or write, approved or declined — is recorded with the actor, the input, and the result.
