Column Descriptions - administrative menu, exportable, linkable

DdLund

We use column descriptions in many different ways to keep our sheet updaters/users informed and "trained" regarding the data they engage with. Here are some suggested features:

Make a menu to view all Column Names, along with the text Description in a list view. It would be helpful to view all/many columns together, and be able to compare the text(s) in a sortable/searchable way, rather than to have to click into each Column Description in the live sheet where I am not aware of a way to compare the description to another column unless you've copied it out to a notepad or other text source.
If a menu where searching/sorting/updating is too much to ask for, just make the Column Names and text Description exportable to Excel so we can search in an external sheet, without having to manually cut/paste dozens of column Descriptions one by one each time we want to confirm/compare/share for user training purposes.
For columns connected by DataMesh, (or other linked column types that are essentially same column from a different source…?) have an option/checkbox to carry over the same column Description so they can be maintained in one location, and remain consistent if any change.

Thanks!

SSFeatures

This kind of goes hand in hand with a feature that I've been thinking about building in SSFeatures.

I was talking with Chris about this yesterday in this thread, specifically about exporting metadata to Excel.
