I have an existing sheet which contains a schedule of annually recurring tasks. I saved a copy to create the new year's sheet and now need to update the dates. Is there an automated way to do this?

Hi everyone, Is there a way to set a dashboard as the default homepage for all users upon login? Ideally, we’d like users to land directly on a particular dashboard instead of the usual default page. Is this possible through configuration, or is there a plugin or workaround that can help us achieve this? Thanks in advance!
