Automation action - Add comment
Add new action "Add comment". This action can be used in automation workflows to add comments. It should be triggered on specific row in the sheet and in the comment it will be possible to use the references to specific column names {{Column-name}}.
Super handy will be, if you can also generate references like @{{Sales-person}} and so on.
Formatting of Automated email text
I use a lot of automations that send customised email to contacts. These often contain instructions and multiple paragraphs of text. I find the 5 line box very restricting and hard to navigate and view my text to make sure it is accurate. I would also love to be able to have some formatting, such as bullet points, bold, underline, italics as well as the ability to have hyperlinked text in my message.
Restrict Who Can Delete Sheets or create Verification Check before deletion
I recently had an unlicensed user with Admin permissions delete several sheets that I own. I was able to recover them since they fell into my deleted folder. Can this be restricted to only the owner can delete a sheet (I thought this is how it used to work?) Or can there be a notification set up to the sheet owner if someone deletes a sheet that they do not own.

Please allow for "commenter" permissions on Smartsheet Reports.
As the title says, please allow for "commenter" permissions on Smartsheet reports.
Not really sure why it's not an option, but currently, only "viewer" and "editor" is a sharable permission for Smartsheet reports. Commenter access is available on the source sheet of the report, however, there are times where the source sheet is not shared w/ the user and requires them to comment on certain lines on the report (shared in the sense that they're not using it, but it is shared so the data on the report is still visible to them.
This would be a huge quality of life increase.
Re: December Question of the Month - Join the conversation and receive a badge
If I was to advocate for a holiday I would want it to be a Rise and Reach Day. This would be a nationally recognized holiday designed to help people achieve their dreams and goals. The theme of the day would be to do something that scares them, challenges them, or motivates themselves to make growth in their life. I wouldn't set a specific calendar date but rather have it as a day your can request off from your employer. (Allowed 1 a year, or maybe a few in a better world).
I would hope this would positively impact people who feel they have no time to achieve their goals or don't feel supported in them. Why not make it a holiday that everyone celebrates and takes advantage of.

Re: December Question of the Month - Join the conversation and receive a badge
Gosh is this a hard one, I do know I'd love to have a holiday around mid/late February to early May timeframe as that part of the year seems to drag on for eternity (especially those that don't have any of those holidays off from work unless you take a PTO or floating holiday type day).
Here are a few options: Read a book day, plant a seed day, cat nap day, or spring-cleaning day
My personal favorites are read a book and cat nap day (which could be combined!) where you cozy up with a good book and can take naps at any time during the day.

Workflow Automation print in PDF and/or export to Visio
Be able to print and/or export Workflow Automations in PDF and/or export to Visio.
this would be used for document control and troubleshooting aid
Use Custom URL to add users to company account.
Use Case:
1. Account Discovery is enabled for company.
2. A user received a shared Smartsheet from a company Smartsheet owner.
3. User clicked on Smartsheet, and it sent him to main screen to create an account.
4. User created an account using his company email.
5. Smartsheet associated his account with the company.
6. A request to add the user to the company account was sent to the admin of the company bypassing the Custom URL currently set-up for requesting a License.
Update process for requesting adding a new user to the company account to use the same Custom URL currently in place for requesting a license.
Warnings when approaching functional sheet capacity
Although we are extremely proficient when it comes to reducing load on our smartsheets (we use pivot, data mesh and data shuttle extensively), we still find ourselves hitting capacity limits (mostly because of the number of columns in conjunction with some pretty complex formulas).
Breaking up data between sheets and leveraging a report is not always the best way forward, and frankly it's a workaround, not an elegant solution.
Unfortunately, we don't often know when we've hit a sheet's capacity until the sheet is already broken, taking down the highly visible reports and tools it supports at the same time.
We would like a warning that lets us know when we're approaching various percentages of sheet capacity - 25%, 50%, 75%, and 90% so we can better construct our solutions.

Video Embedding - Dashboard Widgets
Currently, Smartsheet offers a short-list of external sources that give the ability to embed videos using the Web Content widget in a dashboard. I would love to see this list expanded to include Clipchamp, Supademo, etc.
