Troubleshooting: Menu Items Not Loading in SheetXAI

The Problem

When you click Extensions → SheetXAI in Google Sheets, you may only see "Help" in the menu, with other options like "Open Chat", "Settings", or "Activate SAI Formula" missing.

Why This Happens

SheetXAI needs a moment to initialize and load all menu items. This is especially common when:

  • First opening a spreadsheet
  • After refreshing the page
  • When the add-on is still initializing in the background

How to Fix It

Step 1: Wait for Menu Items to Load

  1. Click Extensions → SheetXAI in Google Sheets
  2. If you only see "Help" (and no other menu items)
  3. Wait 5-10 seconds - the menu items are still loading
  4. Click Extensions → SheetXAI again - you should now see all menu options

Step 2: If Menu Items Still Don't Appear

If waiting doesn't resolve the issue, try these steps:

  1. Refresh the page (F5 or Cmd+R / Ctrl+R)
  2. Close and reopen the spreadsheet
  3. Try reauthorizing SheetXAI - see our Reauthorization Guide

Quick Checklist

  • Waited 5-10 seconds after clicking Extensions → SheetXAI
  • Clicked Extensions → SheetXAI again after waiting
  • Refreshed the browser page
  • Closed and reopened the spreadsheet

Still Not Working?

If menu items still don't appear after trying these steps, see our Reauthorization Guide or contact support.
