What is the purpose of the Freeze Panes button in the Windows group on the View tab?

The Freeze Panes button in the Windows group on the View tab in Excel allows users to keep specific rows or columns visible while scrolling through the rest of the worksheet. This feature is particularly useful for maintaining context, as it enables users to view headers or key information without losing track of their position in large datasets. By selecting rows or columns to freeze, users can enhance their navigation and data analysis efficiency.
