- Open the Library tab and replace the sample rows with your own — one row per entry. Formulas fill in automatically for new rows.
- Keep approved boilerplate here with owner and last-updated date; sections older than the review window turn amber.
- Re-check facts (headcount, certifications, project numbers) before pasting into a new proposal.
- Using Google Sheets? Upload the file to Google Drive, then open it with Google Sheets (or File → Import in an open sheet). Formulas, dropdowns and highlights carry over.
The file opens locally on your device — nothing is uploaded, and you own the copy outright.
