Resizable Conditional Formatting dialog (Insiders Beta)

Previously, the size of the Manage Rules dialog limited you to viewing just five conditional formatting rules at a time. You may also not be able to see the entire formula or the range used in your rules. Now, you can make the dialog wider and/or taller, allowing you to see more of the rules all at once and giving you more space to view longer formulas if needed.

 

In addition, this update improves accessibility by making it easier to use your keyboard to manage your conditional formatting rules.
