Frequently asked questions

Can I use this for multiple projects at once?

Yes. Duplicate the project tab for each new project and use the summary tab to see progress across all active projects simultaneously.

Does the template send deadline reminders?

Google Sheets does not send notifications natively, but you can set up email alerts using Google Apps Script — a one-time setup that sends a daily summary of overdue tasks.

Can clients see this without seeing internal notes?

Yes. The template includes an instructions tab on how to hide internal columns or create a separate client-facing tab with only the information they need to see.
