The plan is on the timeline, but the brief and the delivered file are buried in chat and Drive.
You can see what is due, but the brief lives in one place and the finished file in another. Checking progress means opening five tabs.
Five tabs open, just to check one task.
Attach the brief onto the task and the delivered file onto its percent complete. The plan and its proof live together.
- Attach the brief or spec onto the Task cell
- Attach the delivered file or sign-off onto the percent complete cell
- Keep a reference or mockup on the Notes cell
- Duration in working days calculates itself, and overdue tasks turn red
Start with the project timeline template
A shared sheet anyone can open and try. Nothing to install, nothing to set up.
- Tasks tab: Task, Owner, Start, End, Duration, percent complete, Status, Days Left, Notes
- Attach brief onto Task, deliverable onto percent complete, reference onto Notes
- Status and Owner dropdowns, plus auto Duration and Days Left
- Table Mode ready, so attachments stay with their task
Up and running in three steps
Make your copy
Open the template and choose File, then Make a copy. It lands in your own Google Drive.
Plan and attach
Enter Start and End so Duration calculates itself, then drag the brief onto the Task cell.
Track delivery
As work lands, attach the delivered file onto percent complete. Overdue tasks turn red on their own.
Project timeline questions, answered
They live in your own Google Drive. UpSheet uploads the file to your Drive and links it to the cell, so the project files stay where your team already keeps them.
No. The number you entered stays exactly as it is. UpSheet attaches the file to the cell and lists it in the cell note with its name, size, and link.
Yes. Each cell holds up to 10 files on the 60-day trial and up to 50 on Pro, so the brief, the draft, and the final delivery can share one task.
Yes. Everyone you share the sheet and the files with can open them, so progress checks no longer need a round of questions.
Keep every file on the row it belongs to
Copy the project timeline template, add UpSheet, and your files stop wandering.
