Binder finalized · Aug 14, 2026 Reopen

Only an owner sees Reopen — anyone else is told who can do it rather than given a button that refuses.

Doing it once, not every year

Two ways a binder starts already built.

Workpaper index templates

Build a standard index once — sections (A, B, C…) and the placeholder workpapers under each — then stamp it onto any task binder in one click. A section with no rows becomes a header only.

Roll forward index

This copies the section index and workpaper references into the target engagement as placeholders, each linked back to this year's workpaper. Sign-offs and review notes are not carried over.
