Set up your first weave

What is a weave?

A weave is a reusable Google Drive project blueprint: the folder hierarchy, the Doc/Sheet/Slide templates, and the variables. You define it once. Every launch is a complete project.

Smart Mode is not required. You can do this by hand in a few minutes. Smart Mode is coming soon.

Steps

1. Sign up and connect Google Drive.
2. Name the weave after the engagement type, not the client. Example: Brand identity, not Acme.
3. Build the folder hierarchy the way you already work.
4. Attach the Docs, Sheets, and Slides you already use.
5. Define variables (client name, dates, project name).
6. Test-launch into a sandbox folder and check names, nested folders, and filled files.
7. Launch for a real client.

Tips

• One weave per engagement type, not per client.
• Put variables in file names and inside Docs/Sheets/Slides so launch fills both.
• If a nested folder is missing in the test launch, fix the weave before you use it live.
