It's here! The Smartsheet Professional Certification is now live!
Hello Community,
You might remember back in July we launched the Builder Path, and today we’ve got even more good news. I know our Community members are always excited to level up, so get ready because the new Smartsheet Professional Certification is now officially live!
This is your moment to establish yourself as an expert, and unlock new professional opportunities. To help you get ready, the Professional Learning Path is packed with expert-led modules and hands-on exercises to help you solidify your knowledge, learn new advanced techniques and set you up to ace the exam!
Both the Professional Learning Path and the Professional Certification are available with a Learning & Certification Pass. This Pass gives you access to all Smartsheet University content, as well as two attempts at each certification. Or, if you wish, you can purchase one Professional Certification attempt for $300.
Ready to take on the challenge?

Post Collection Release - Still Need Folder-Level Permissions
I would like to reopen the discussion on this topic:
Even though Collections sortof work, it adds extra complexity, extra time and extra work. Being able to share a folder as opposed to having the all or nearly nothing approach be preferred. I am currently having to create 3 collections for every single folder within our PMO workspace, just so I can share what is in each folder with the appropriate permissions.

Outlook Calendar Event Generator
Hello,
Please, if there is something that should be a priority, create the option that when using Smartsheet as a calendar, it can generate an Outlook calendar event just like Zoom does. If you do this, Smartsheet will be THE lead in all that is calendar and sheets.
We have been assigned to use Smartsheet as a calendar, and it IS a pain that it doesn't connect to Outlook. We find ourselves duplicating efforts in making activities on both platforms. Is time consuming and frustrating. I'm certain someone with the brains can create a way for these two programs to align. Please put all the money and engineers into having a simple, easy way for Smartsheet and Outlook to merge easily.

Resource Management: Regional Public Holidays
Official Public Holidays in Resource Management are not helpful when team members work across different states or countries. The ability to define Public Holidays based on team member location (automatically would be best) is needed. The Location of each team member is defined in their profile. Use this to update the public holidays that apply to them.

Activity Log should reflect all changes made to a sheet (in detail)
As of today, the activity log doesn't represent all of the activities undertaken on the sheet. For example, if a row hierarchy or conditional formatting has changed, columns formatted/hidden/unhidden or removed, it won't show up on the activity log in detail. This is difficult when we are trying to investigate the root cause of an error. See attached screenshots.
The activity log, as the name indicates, should provide all details.

Roundup of top timeline view enhancements (January - August 2025)
Hello Community,
If you’ve used timeline view, you already know it helps teams visualize and manage date-based work in real time. It reimagines how work is managed in Smartsheet, allowing users to easily track tasks and milestones, group information by theme, and adjust plans with clarity and speed. Whether you're building robust roadmaps, managing complex campaigns, or following individual project plans, timeline view helps your team stay aligned and focused.
Since launching timeline view last May, we’ve made significant progress, delivering several highly requested enhancements based on your feedback. Read our roundup of the top timeline view updates released since the start of this year, and drop your feedback or questions in the comments below: your input directly informs what we build next.
Thanks for being a part of the Smartsheet Community!
1. Timeline view widget in dashboards: You can now bring project timelines, big or small, directly into your dashboards with the new timeline view widget. Give stakeholders a clear, at-a-glance view of key milestones, tasks, and project phases, all alongside your other key metrics. It's a powerful way to drive alignment and faster decision-making, right from your most-used dashboards.
2. Show/hide additional fields on bars: Need to tailor what stakeholders see on your timeline? With the new Show fields toolbar button, you can choose what fields appear on bars (right next to their title) by showing or hiding additional fields on each bar. This allows you to customize the data displayed on your view for your audience and gives you control over the level of detail shown in your timeline view.
3. Consolidated item details, attachments, and conversations: Double-click on any bar or milestone to view its details, attachments, and conversations all in one place. This gives you faster access to critical context without navigating away from your timeline.
4. Group by more column types: We expanded grouping options to provide even more flexibility in how you organize your data. In addition to single-select dropdown, contact list, and symbol columns, you can now group timeline items by single-select text/number, checkbox, and date columns.
5. Hide empty lanes when grouping: Cut down on visual clutter by toggling Show empty lanes off. This new setting helps create cleaner, more focused timelines by hiding lanes that don’t contain any items in the selected time period, thereby making your timelines easier to read and work with.
6. Add child items: You can now add child items directly in timeline view, without switching to a different view. This saves time and helps you instantly visualize task hierarchies alongside other bars and milestones.
7. [COMING SOON] Conditional formatting: Soon, you will be able to color your timeline by status, owner, priority, or any key indicator using conditional formatting. This initial release will allow formatting rules based on single-select dropdowns, contact lists, and symbol columns and includes an improved, intuitive interface for managing rules right from timeline view.

Sheet Reference Manager for Smartsheet Gov
It would be great to have the Sheet Reference Manager in Gov like they do for the Commercial version. It's a great way for us to see what references we have already created and we can then easily modify or delete them as well. Currently, there is no way to see what references already exist and I don't know how to remove unwanted references either.
