We are planning to implement a book publishing project in Smartsheet. At one point in this project, the pages of the book go back and forth between the writer, editor and compositor till it gets finally approved with no further changes being required. The number of times this cycle repeats itself is unknown, however there is a clear deadline by which to complete the final version of the pages. What is the best way to handle this in a Smartsheet project plan?

Hi @Darla Brown<\/a> <\/p>

I hope you're well and safe!<\/p>

Has anything in the sheet changed? Any formulas in the cells? <\/p>

I hope that helps!<\/p>

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!<\/p>

Best,<\/p>

Hi Dear Andrée Starå<\/strong><\/a><\/p>

Thank you so much for your solution!<\/p>

It can work, but more like a compromise way. Editing on a report is less convenient.<\/p>

It would be better for me to set access right to each column.<\/p>

But that can also work for now, thanks a lot.<\/p>

By the way are you a BOT?<\/p>"},{"commentID":383283,"body":"

Excellent!<\/p>

I agree. Great idea! That would be a great addition to Smartsheet features.<\/p>
