Tab Strategy: Active, Archive, and Reference

Every organized basetao spreadsheet needs at least three tabs. Active holds current orders. Archive stores completed ones. Reference contains seller lists, size charts, and platform links. Some power users add a fourth tab: Disputes, where they log problem orders until resolution.

The Archive tab should mirror the Active tab's columns exactly. When you move a completed row, paste it without changes. This preserves data integrity if you ever need to reference an old order number, price, or tracking history.

Pro Tips

Freeze the header row

In Google Sheets, freeze row 1 so your column headers stay visible while scrolling. It is a tiny change that prevents endless scrolling back to remember what column you are in.
