Using Dextrous with Google Sheets

In this tutorial, I show you how to hook up Google sheets to a Dextrous project. The key thing to remember to sync a Dextrous layout with a Google sheet project is that the zones in your Dextrous layout have to match the column titles in the first row of Google sheets exactly.

I also cover handy tips like using markdown in Google sheets and using basic formulas to combine text and styling.
