Someone still has to update row. It does not have to be you
A companion works the 3 operations your SeaTable account exposes. It can update a row and delete a row, and every one of those waits on an approval card showing the row before it changes.
Open the row. Check it against something else. Write the change. Move to the next one. That is the SeaTable afternoon nobody can hand off, and a companion does the whole pass and gives you back the batch, with nothing landing on a row until you approve it.
What it can do is exactly what SeaTable exposes to an account you authorise and nothing beyond it: 3 operations, no reads and 3 writes. In practice that means it can update a row, delete a row and create a row.
The SeaTable API stops at SeaTable. A companion does not. The same run opens the customer's website, the supplier portal, the internal tool somebody built in 2019, because it is working the browser you are already signed into rather than calling in from outside it.
Does it read the rows or ask you for them?
In the tab.
SeaTable exposes no read operation to a connected account, so a companion opens SeaTable in the session you are already signed into and reads the screens you would.
The rows are what most of this inventory is about, alongside the rows. A companion can hold all 3 of these operations and forty open tabs in the same pass, which is how an afternoon of SeaTable admin becomes a queue you review.
What happens before it can update row?
All 3 write operations wait for you.
A companion can update a row, delete a row and create a row, and each one is staged on an approval card first: you see the row, the field and the new value before it lands in SeaTable.
Nothing in SeaTable is sent, changed or deleted on your behalf without that click, and a rejected card leaves the row exactly as it was. The gate is the same one on every surface, described at security.

- Delete Row
- Create Row
Can the rows pass run every Monday?
Yes.
Saved as a routine, the SeaTable rows pass runs at the hour you pick: the Monday sweep, the overnight refresh, the Friday check. Keep Awake holds the machine awake for the length of a run, so a scheduled pass finishes with the lid closed.
The operations playbook catalogues the other recurring shapes of the planning, the SeaTable rows sweep among them, and finished runs are published at real runs.
