Re: Can't Create a Single Grid Sheet anymore? Why did this change?
Hi - I am having the same issue but I don't understand what you mean by "They are deprecating the sheets folder." and what I am suppose to do with all of the workspaces I have created that now I can't add grids too.

This change sucks. A lot.
Re: Reference Reports in Formulas (e.g. VLOOKUP) to sheets
Would be very helpful to create a formula range from a report, and not just from a sheet. This is helpful to pull in data that is organized in a different way in reports vs sheets.

Re: New streamlined creation experience
This change gets rid of a fundamental part of working applications, where naturally built in there is a personal space, and a working space with others. Google Drive, Microsoft Excel, and other applications naturally build in a personal area, and one interfacing with others. The ability to separate shared vs. not shared areas is incredibly important, especially when dealing with sensitive information. Using another workspace can provide the same functionality, however it now combines the two areas together, and has a much higher change of accidental sharing. As someone who manages so many workspaces, to have this space at the top requires a silly naming convention to an area that is already not able to be organized.
Having separate sections to store what is shared vs. what is not shared is way more impactful mentally then what people may expect. Especially moving in fast paced environments, any way structure is built in to separate sharing relieves stress.

Re: Request for Rollback - create sheets in Sheets folder
It is maddening to not be able to file sheets into folders within the Sheets section anymore. I would do it in Workspaces but have found that I cannot file sheets I didn't create. What is the solution? I need to be able to organize and categorize sheets (many of which I'm a viewer/collaborator on but didnt create and don't own) or I'll never find them. This functionality was available in Sheets but is not now.
also I'm super concerned about the below FAQ…if my existing Sheets folders won't be preserved and I can't recreate them in Workspace (meaning I can create the folders but can't drag the sheets inside) then what am I supposed to do?!?!?
What happens to the file structure I created in the Sheets folder?
Specific folder structures you created in the Sheets folder aren't preserved in the conversion. If you want to maintain specific folder structures, we recommend creating a new workspace with your desired structure and moving your items to it. Otherwise, you don't need to do anything else.

Re: Request for Rollback - create sheets in Sheets folder
I fully agree, this new change is not working well and hinders productivity. I would very much like to have the ability to create - grids, reports, dashboards - outside of "Workspaces".

Re: Dynamic file name creation with formula
Try moving the last underscore into the IF for level 1:
=IF(Level@row >= "3", INDEX(ANCESTORS([Job #]@row), 1), [Job #]@row) + "_" + IF(Level@row >= "2", [Project Name]@row, "") + "_" + IF(Level@row = "1", [Project Name]@row + "_", "") + [Size (WxH)]@row
