Re: Set global default sharing to something other than "Editor - Can Share" (Workspaces,Sheets,Reports)
For workspaces, sheets, and reports, the default sharing setting is "Editor - Can Share". It would be ideal to be able to configure a global configuration in Admin Center where the default sharing permission was something other than this setting, such as "Viewer" or "Editor - Cannot Share". By having the "Editor - Can Share" as the default, it perpetuates unwieldy permissions by allowing anyone with "Editor - Can Share" or greater to share to anyone which makes access auditing very challenging and also increases risk of unintended data exposure. By default, this applies to workspaces, sheets, and reports (dashboards seem to default to "Viewer" already).

Re: [Giveaway] Help Us Pick Our 2026 Questions of the Month!
I love the concept of sourcing QoM ideas from the community! A few questions that I'd like to see in 2026 would be:
- What is a song or artist that you have an emotional connection to?
- If you had a real-life badge outside of Smartsheet, what would it represent and how would someone earn it?
- What are you looking forward to right now?
Re: How did you learn Smartsheets?
I am definitely a jump in, hands-on learner! As I have questions, that's when I'll explore videos, discussion boards, or brainstorm with someone else.
How did you learn Smartsheets?
Are you the type of person who learns by jumping right in? Or, do you take an education first approach? Blend of the two? Something different? I am curious to know!
For me, seeing is understanding! I typically begin with video content to visually grasp initial concepts. Then, as needed, gravitate towards written documentation as subjects/needs become more complex and little to no video content available.

Re: SIMPLE Conditional Formatting is not Working
Did you set "Task Bar" to orange? I'd expect to see the background behind the "abcde" to be shaded. If so, you need to use the little paint-can control in conditional formatting to set the row shading. If that's not the issue, then perhaps flip your column to type Text and then flip back to dropdown… then true up all the values manually to ensure there's no data mismatch. Usually if something to all appearances is set up correctly but isn't performing as I expect, most times I can attribute it to an issue with the column type. (That shouldn't be the case in this situation, but technology sometimes doesn't …technologe. :) So starting at scratch is my troubleshooting go-to.)
Good luck!

Re: How do i copy a conditional format to create an automation?
Hi,
I hope you're well and safe!
You would need to recreate the Conditional Formatting rules or copy the sheet.
Another option is the fantastic add-on, which makes it possible to copy the rules from one sheet ot another (+ many other features). SSFeatures from the brilliant Nathan. @SSFeatures
Would that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe, and have a fantastic day!
Best,
