Hey!

I can’t find a way to “open” a document, or import the data from it, as I expect from spreadsheet services, like Google Sheets for example:

I found [this response on the forum](https://forum.collaboraonline.com/t/open-or-import-option-not-available-in-collobora-user-interface/446) utterly unrelated and unhelpful to the question being asked, and hope that there is a way to do this. I’m using the editor that opens when you create an ODS file on Nextcloud.
