One of the questions I often get from clients and new users is how to make their PPO reports and dashboards look more polished and easier to read. The good news? You don’t need to be a tech wizard to do it — you just need a bit of Markdown.

Whether you’re building a status report, updating a project dashboard, or just want to present information in a cleaner way, Markdown can make a big difference.

If you’ve been looking for a way to make your reports and dashboards more impactful without adding complexity, give these Markdown tricks a try. And if you have your own formatting tips or use cases, I’d love to hear about them!

Happy formatting….
