Recommended workflow for testing/updating in one sheet and then moving updates to Live sheet

Here's my current workflow and I know there must be a better way.

I have a TEST Smartsheet that matches a LIVE Smartsheet

In the TEST sheet I make requested modifications to columns and formulas. Once completed I am manually modifying the columns and formulas in the LIVE sheet to implement the changes. This is way to time consuming and prone to human error. A lot of copying and pasting.

What is a better method to implement changes in the TEST sheet into the LIVE sheet and keep the data in the LIVE sheet?

Thanks,

Jeana

Hi @Jeana

A solution that would be perfect for this use-case is the premium add-on, Control Center.

Is that an option?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

Andrée,

I was just about to check that out. We are Premium customers but I haven't ever looked at it. I will now. Any recommendations on using it or is it pretty straight forward if I watch the video's, etc.?

Thanks,

Jeana

Happy to help!

Unfortunately, it's not included in the Premium Tier.

It's fairly advanced.

Andrée,

Yep, I discovered that. Doubt that we will take that step. I'm still looking for a better workflow to update formulas and columns from one Smartsheet to several others. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jeana

I'll get back to you if I think of some other way to solve it.
