    If you are using a computer, roll your mouse over the bottom of the scroll bar. Once you are there, left-click, and you should be able to scroll quickly to the end of the document.

    How do I search all tabs at once in a workbook in the Google Sheets app? Find and replace does not have this option, and Ctrl+F isn't an option.

    Under "replace" there's a drop drown for "search". Click "all sheets". That should search all the pages in the workbook.

    Ctrl + F is the hotkey to search for items. There is also an option to search in the Tools menu at the top.
