It is an anchor. All the teams refer to it. In our core meetings the host uses the live binder to enter in updates.- Level of details: Every aspect of our project/binder can be found in the Live Binder. Smartsheets capability to be able to capture all aspect is what makes it so useful. > > **Cons**: I don't like the long rows. They are too long and I can not see all info in one view. I always have to scroll to the right or left.I don't like how MS Outlook is not integrated well in Smart sheet. > > Excellent experience. I use about 13 apps at work. SmartUse is top three, with outlook and chrome being the other two. ----- ### "Amazing software we can't live without \!" — 5.0/5 > **Caroline** | *15 October 2021* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: - The fact that every user has the most recent version of every document is essential in construction. - Software easy to use and intuitive to work with everyday > > **Cons**: We are looking forward to the new additions in development to improve the software.
