Why do all sheets now need to be part of a workspace?

Rose M.

I am trying to set a workflow for an existing sheet, I have Admin permission. Once the rows meet a certain criteria I need them moved, one sheet to another. I created the new sheet, to where the rows need to be moved, which makes me the owner. However, when creating the new sheet, it creates a whole new workspace, like why? When setting the workflow and getting to the last step, I cannot find the sheet where I need these rows moved. I am wondering if the reason for this is because this sheet now is part of a different workspace.

Is anyone having the same issue, is there a solution for this? Any feedback helps.

Hey @Rose M. !

I'll share a discussion post I came across while asking the same question. They talk about an upgrade that was done and mention this specifically.

I do see now where you are able to create any asset just to the left of the browse panel you can create a sheet and then tell Smartsheet where to put it which is awesome. That way you'd be able to put this sheet in the same workspace and find it a lot easier. Also, I have found when creating new sheets, it may take a second for that new asset to be searchable with Smartsheet. I usually do a few soft refreshes [ctrl + r] and it pops up in my workspace.

You can also just right click on any workspace and choose "Create" at the top of the pop of menu. From there click "Grid" and that will create a sheet in the workspace you right clicked in.

Hope this help! Have a great day!😁
