Table of Contents
You can add extra fields to track anything your team needs, such as:
- Word count
- Owner
- Priority
- Category
- Publish date
- Review stage
- Audience
- Internal tags
These behave like normal spreadsheet columns and can be used in filters, charts, or snapshot templates.
Rules for Adding Columns #
To keep the automation stable:
- Add new columns to the right of all required system columns
(ItemID, Version, Active, dates, ChangeNote, ChangeType, Platform, Type, Status, Product). - Don’t rename or delete any system columns.
- Don’t insert new columns inside the protected block of system fields.
- You can rearrange or hide your custom columns anywhere to the right.
What the System Ignores #
Your custom columns are never changed by the automation.
They remain untouched during:
- Version creation
- Archiving
- Snapshot generation
- Dashboard updates
- Admin repair tools
- Bulk paste cleanup
- System field regeneration
This lets you maintain any extra fields you need without affecting how the system tracks versions or history.
