Spreadsheet-safe export prefixes cells that could be interpreted as formulas; this changes those cell values on re-import.

Common questions

Does CSV quoting survive editing?

The download quotes cells when needed and doubles embedded quotes, preserving commas and line breaks.

Will safe mode change negative numbers?

No. A minus sign is escaped only when it begins a formula-like expression; ordinary negative numeric values remain numeric.
