Questions about this workflow
Can this tell whether the new rule is correct?
Not by itself. Notis can summarize the retrieved guidance, but your instruction must supply the criteria for judging the rule.
Does this trigger watch cell values?
No. It detects when conditional formatting rules are added, updated, or removed.
