    User Instructions

    Getting Started:
    
        Download the template file (.xlsx) and open it in Microsoft Excel or a compatible spreadsheet application (e.g., Google Sheets, LibreOffice).
        All sheets are protected only for structure (to preserve formulas), but users can edit all cells in data areas.
        Begin by populating the "Client/Contact Log" with your primary stakeholders to enable automated references in other sheets.
        Use the "Data Validation" sheet as a reference to maintain consistency across dropdowns (e.g., ensure "Critical" is always spelled correctly).
    

    Best Practices:
    
        Regularly back up your file to cloud storage (OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox) for security.
        Use the Dashboard as a daily launchpoint: review overdue items and weekly goals before starting work.
        To customize columns or add new categories (e.g., "Meeting Notes" in Schedule Tracker), insert new columns with appropriate formatting and update formulas accordingly.
