<aside> 💡 [Tutorial Block] - This page is a central location where you can create checklists that can then be synced to your project templates. You could also keep/make these checklists inside of your SOP's and/or documentation. The main concept is to keep them in a centralized place, and used Synced Blocks to sync them to your project templates. That way you and your team have a centralized place where you can access and make changes to your checklists whenever your processes change.
