Overview

SmartStamp Guides

Walkthroughs for the “record when this changed” problems Google Sheets has no clean built-in answer for. Each one covers the formula and script routes as well as the add-on.

Each guide shows the no-add-on approaches first — a formula, an Apps Script trigger — then how SmartStamp does the same thing from a panel, with the edge cases handled.
