What is the first action to take in creating an update request?

The first action to take in creating an update request is selecting the rows to be updated. This is crucial because it allows you to specify exactly which tasks or items within the project you want to gather updates on. By selecting the relevant rows, you ensure that the update request is targeted and effective, allowing the recipients to focus on providing their feedback or status updates specifically on those items.

Once the rows are selected, it becomes easier to proceed to the subsequent steps, such as entering email addresses, customizing columns, and ultimately sending the update request. If you were to jump ahead in the process without selecting the proper rows first, there would be a lack of clarity regarding what you are asking for updates on, which could lead to confusion among the recipients. Therefore, the logical and organized sequence begins with identifying and selecting the rows in the project that need attention and input.
