    USER INSTRUCTIONS

    This template is designed for intuitive use. Begin by populating the Client Directory. Once clients are added, create content entries in Content Calendar, linking each to a client via the dropdown. Use Content Briefs to attach detailed instructions, brand guidelines, or links to assets. The Dashboard auto-updates with your inputs—refresh data by pressing F9. Use the Status Tracker daily: any row marked “Overdue” requires immediate attention. Weekly, review the Dashboard for client performance trends and adjust budgets accordingly.
