- Open the Batches tab and replace the sample rows with your own — one row per entry. Formulas fill in automatically for new rows.
- Record the chocolate lot for traceability and note room conditions when a batch misbehaves.
- Yield under 90% of target turns amber; repeated low yields usually point to temper or shell thickness.
