Ever had problems with tags disassociating with a linked file because the link was not reloaded by other before they synchronised? Bonus Tools has a tool that might help. This is a hidden tool.

If you added a Project Parameter called "Sheets File" to your Project Information of type yes/no and tick it, each time you synchronise you will be ask, have you reloaded linked files first, if you answer no, the synchronise process will be cancelled.
