Help for the Aligned add-on for Google Sheets

Getting started

  1. Install Aligned from the Google Workspace Marketplace.
  2. Open any Google Sheet and go to Extensions → Aligned → How to start, then click Set up my workspace.
  3. Read the 0. START HERE tab, then add your goals, routines and tasks.
  4. Each morning click Extensions → Aligned → Sync Today. Each evening click Process Day.

Common questions

I don’t see Aligned under Extensions

Reload the sheet and check again. Make sure you are signed in to the Google account you installed it with, and check Extensions → Add-ons → Manage add-ons to confirm that Aligned is installed and enabled.

Sync Today added nothing

Sync Today adds tasks from the Planner that are scheduled for today or earlier and not finished, plus routines whose Days include today. Check that the Days cell says things like Daily, Weekdays, or Mon, Thu, and that today is inside the routine’s Start and End dates. If you already ran Process Day today, routines are not added again until tomorrow.

The date looks wrong or is one day off

Aligned uses your spreadsheet’s time zone. Open File → Settings and check that the time zone is the one you expect.

What happens to tasks I don’t finish?

Unfinished one-off tasks move to tomorrow in the Planner. Unfinished routine tasks are not carried over; they come back on their next scheduled day.

Can I change the Projects or Priorities lists?

Yes. Edit the lists on the 1. Settings tab. They feed the dropdowns in the other tabs.

Can I add my own columns?

You can add columns to the right of Aligned’s columns. Do not rename or delete the existing headers, and leave the hidden ID column alone.

What does Initialize Workspace do on a sheet that already has Aligned tabs?

It asks you to confirm and then erases the Aligned tabs and rebuilds them with sample data. Make a copy of your sheet first if you want to keep anything.

Does Aligned send my data anywhere?

No. Everything stays in your spreadsheet. See the Privacy Policy.

How do I uninstall it?

Go to Extensions → Add-ons → Manage add-ons, find Aligned, and choose Uninstall. Your spreadsheet and its tabs stay as they are.
