Below are some common reasons why Google Sheets tabs disappear and what you can do to fix them:
Sometimes, the issue might be due to the zoom level of your browser or screen resolution settings. Try resetting the zoom level to the default (usually 100%) by pressing Ctrl + 0 (Cmd + 0 on Mac) or adjusting it manually until the tabs appear.
Additionally, adjusting your screen resolution may help if the issue is related to how much of the spreadsheet is visible on your screen.
If Google Sheets is in full-screen mode, it might hide the tabs. You can exit full-screen mode by pressing F11 on Windows or Ctrl + Cmd + F on Mac.
While there aren't specific Google Sheets settings that hide tabs, glitches can occasionally happen. Here are some solutions to consider:
1. Reload the Google Sheets page.
2. Try opening the spreadsheet in another Google account or sharing it with someone else to see if the issue is account-specific.
3. Check if Google Workspace is experiencing any outages or issues that could be affecting Sheets by visiting the Google Workspace Status Dashboard.
If your sheet tabs have disappeared in Google Sheets, it could be because they've been hidden. You can easily unhide these tabs by going to View > Hidden Sheets then selecting the sheets you want to unhide.
If none of these solutions work, consider seeking help from Google's support forums or checking if there are any known issues with Google Sheets at the time.
