1. A method for editing data sets via non-editable workbooks, the method comprising:
presenting, by a workbook manager on a client computing system, a workbook in an exploration mode that displays edits to the workbook without altering the workbook, wherein the workbook presents a data set from a cloud-based data warehouse;
receiving, by the workbook manager via the workbook, a change to the workbook and an edit to the data set from a client account associated with the client computing system;
determining, by the workbook manager, that the client account is authorized to edit the data set on the cloud-based data warehouse and that the client account lacks authorization to commit changes to the workbook; and
applying, by the workbook manager, the edit to the data set in the cloud-based data warehouse.
