The Sheet Set Manager provides central control of all CAD operations for a project.  When properly set up, it streamlines creation and organization of new sheets as well as updating existing sheets as the project evolves.  After several projects have been completed, detail sheets from those projects can become immediately adapted to any similar new project because the Sheet Set Manager controls formatted Project and sheet data in the title block.
