Reopen a sheet
Take a completed sheet back to editing state.
If you need to make significant edits to a completed sheet, or you marked it complete in error, you can reopen it. Reopening clears the completion timestamp and ends the change-reason requirement for that sheet (provided the project itself isn't Finalised or Archived).
Steps
Open the completed sheet.
Click Reopen in the sheet header (where Mark complete used to be).
Type a reason for the reopen and confirm.
What happens
- The sheet's completion badge clears.
- Edits stop requiring a change reason, provided the project is still in Draft or In review.
- The reopen event shows in the audit log with your reason.
Important: project status still matters
If the project is Finalised or Archived, every sheet inside it is locked regardless of whether the sheet itself is "completed" or not. Reopening the sheet doesn't lift that, you also need to change the project status back to Draft / In review.
The order is up to you, but the typical sequence:
Move the project status from Finalised back to In review (with reason).
Reopen the specific sheets you need to edit (with reason).
Make the edits.
Mark the sheets complete again.
Move the project status back to Finalised (no reason required when moving into Finalised).
When not to reopen
If you only need a small change, just edit the locked sheet and provide the change reason in the dialog. Reopening is for substantive batches of work that would generate a lot of repetitive change-reason entries.
