Use column types and the hide-columns feature to build user interfaces. Where a column will insert or delete some complex piece of pre-determined content, automate this content column by connecting it to a simpler input column like a checkbox or a select dropdown. Hide the content column, so the end-user only sees the input column. Make sure to enable Apply hidden columns to documents when doing so, and to disable Apply to Documents in each input column's settings.

Use tab and column descriptions to let other users know what this turnsheet is for and how to fill out individual columns. These are a better alternative to drafting notes inside the documents, as you won't have to worry about removing them after the updated document has been prepared.

Use the Forms feature to turn your table into a questionnaire form with one click, then customize the UI further with question prompts, sample responses, descriptions, and more.
