The new Timeline feature is appreciated and can be used to generate easy to read roadmaps, well done! On the other hand, one feature that could be equally useful is the ability to generate tabs in SmartSheets. I checked on the Community Forum and saw multiple inquiries about adding tabs going back for more than two years, with no indication that it is being developed or planned. Is that on the roadmap for future enhancements?

The AI assistance creating a formula is awesome. It saves me about an hour of work each time I use it.

Really enjoying the generative AI feature, it saves plentiful time in doing quick analysis that otherwise takes ages! Looking forward to seeing this develop over time.

I LOVE the AI features and have been showing this off to those in my company I support. This helps make SS more accessible to people. I am excited as it continues learning to get some of the results to be stronger. I think it'd be great to be able to tell SS AI if the answer was adequate or if it required further adjustments (which it often does when requesting to to build formulas) similar to how chat GPT asks for feedback. - Maybe it does this, if it does, I just haven't noticed yet.

Really enjoying the sleek look of the Timeline view and ease of grouping.
