Spreadsheets and custom software
How do I stop different teams using different versions of the same spreadsheet?
Create one controlled source instead of emailing copies. Use shared access, clear ownership, and version history as a short-term fix, then move the data into a system designed for multiple users if the spreadsheet is supporting an ongoing business process.
What to check
- Where is the approved version stored?
- Who is allowed to change the structure?
- Do teams need simultaneous access and reliable history?
