Sure! I'll make a reminder to follow up a week from now on my UX. Thanks :)

No not really, it's many projects with many documents, shared among many contractors. You use Excel Workbooks when you work in fields like this. We have it formatted to be pretty too, so we can just publish to PDF via Adobe Acrobat when it's time to send in submittals.

This is incredible. I work in industrial automation and I often have to manage / make edits to "point assignment charts" which are essentially Excel Workbooks with 100+ Worksheets, each containing ~10-100 rows of formatted data which define various parameters each real world "point" should have in order to communicate with RTUs / various SCADA nodes.

Sometimes the feedback involves making a minor tweak on every Worksheet. Sure you can muck around with VBA (which is a horrible language and experience), but I often just do it manually to get it over with instead (click click click... very tedious).

C# is my go-to "business logic" language as a developer, and this looks so well integrated, really excited to use it.

Yep same here, 5 weeks until my wife gives birth to our first child.

Guess we all were getting hot and frisky last May / June after getting vaccinated.

Wish you guys all the best, I'm playing the same nervous waiting game.
