Workflow

Place Excel files in Assets/StreamingAssets/config/ (default).

- Generates binary/JSON in Assets/AssetBundles/Config/BinConfigData/
Press F7 for runtime reload (development only).
Change Excel directory: menu Dev Tools → Set Excel Directory.
Change output directory: F5 build tool settings.
Change export format: F5 build tool (binary default, JSON optional).

Common error handling

Error	Cause	Solution
F8 shows compilation errors	Generated code conflicts	Delete ConfigData/, fix Excel, re-press F8
Excel not found	Wrong directory	Check/set Excel directory via menu
F7 fails on Android	StreamingAssets not directly readable	Use binary cache mode instead
