Display zoom settings are not preserved. This is quite annoying - requiring the user to use Ctrl+MouseWheel each time they close and reopen a sheet. Clearly the setting made by the last Ctrl+Wheel adjustment should be saved and automatically reapplied. This should be a global calc attribute (i.e. not for each workbook/sheet file). It's easy to repro: 1. open an .xlsx sheet file 2. use Ctrl+wheel to modify zoom 3. close the sheet 4. reopen - the sheet is back to looking how it did prior to the adjustment
Further research reveals that the zoom setting *does* get preserved. But per file. This is still little annoying. I have 100s of finance files based on very similar templates, I need to rezoom then resave each one in order that this setting persists. Hmm.

It saves zoom settings in the file on a per sheet basis. TBH I find the current behavior very useful. Different sheets required different zoom levels and if they don't get saved to the file, then you'd have to zoom in/out again on the same file/sheet all the time. My take -> WF
To restore the zoom factor per document you need to set a user name in Tools > Options > User Data first. I wonder if this information should be added to https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/shared/01/03010000.html, for instance.
However, what I have also been noting, which is kinda related, is that when starting a "New" sheet, i.e. Untitled I'm always given a sheet with tiny cells that need zooming up. Calc does not persist this "New" sheet setting. I appreciate this maybe trickier as its not something that can be associated with a docs properties, it is nonetheless an irritating feature. Can this be fixed?

Try this solution. It works for me. https://askubuntu.com/questions/431817/calc-always-have-to-zoom-in
