Blast Audit lets you capture evidence from a document and write it back into Excel. The main manual tools are Text Snip, Sum Snip, and Table Snip. You may still see Copilot Audit in a few older labels.
Who this is for
Auditors tying source evidence to workbook cells
Users whose documents have already finished OCR
Before you begin
The document should be OCR-complete
Select the target Excel cell before creating a snip
Snip creation is blocked in read-only mode
How to do it
Open
Documentsand choose a file.If Blast Audit shows
OCR RequiredorProcessing, stop and return after OCR finishes.In Excel, select the destination cell.
Choose
Text Snip,Sum Snip, orTable Snip.In the viewer, drag over the evidence you want to capture.
Blast Audit writes the result into Excel and stores the linked snip.
Expected result
The value lands in the correct Excel cell
The snip is tied to the right page area
You can reopen the document later and still see the evidence link
Avoid this
Forgetting to select a destination cell first
Snipping from a document that is still processing
Making a table selection much larger than needed
If it still doesn't work
Recheck OCR status in
DocumentsTry a smaller selection area
If support needs to help, send the document name, page number, snip type, and target cell
