Row Selection To Show Someone is Working on it

skinsel

Hi there, I have used a smartsheet function in the past where while someone is working on a line, you could select a check box on the far left side of the row to highlight the line that showed someone is working on the row. Does anyone know how to add this function?

There is a highlight changes option that automatically shows changes made, but it sounds more like this is a checkbox column added to the sheet that is manually checked and used to apply some conditional formatting. Does the user uncheck the box when they are done and the highlighting disappear?
