It would be really helpful if there were a button or pane which stored sheet instructions for users. There are some sheets I've built which will need to have additional columns added in the future and I'd love to leave instructions for future sheet admins on how it should be managed. I've thought about creating separate sheets and just dropping a link in the sheet but that isn't a great experience for the end user and means that we now have to manage two sheets instead of just one.
@Chris_C - you could leave a comment on the sheet (not tied to a row). When I have complex and/or related sheets, I'll create a "Notes" or "Instructions" sheet as a reminder to myself as much as help going forward. Otherwise I'll leave information in a comment to the sheet or in the Summary pane in a field (depending on complexity of information). Your comment could point to an instruction sheet if very detailed.
As much as I don't like it, I just use the first row and highlight the row a certain color. Then one or more of the columns have instructions.
