• ⚠️ Performance is a problem when handling large files. In part, this is a limitation of the SheetJs free version. The Pro version might be a solution.

• ⚠️ Strange behaviour with the spreadsheet's horizontal scrollbar when using Mozilla Firefox. This seems unrelated to this widget's logic as per this Stack Overflow post.

• ⚠️ This widget contains some limitations, namely, the converstion method ignores the styles - "The underlying grid component includes many additional features that work with SheetJS Pro." - .
