Is the output locked, or can I change it?

It stays fully editable: every part is a normal Excel element you can move, color and resize.

Does it refresh when the data changes?

Yes. The visual is bound to your cells and updates as the linked values change.

Will my table change?

No. Your data stays exactly as it is; only the visual is added to the sheet.

Can I try another look on the same data?

Yes. Just reopen the gallery and pick a different template; the earlier visual remains on the sheet.
