I manage a large number of sheets (100+) that share the same structure, and I often need to add one or more columns across all of them. Currently this requires opening each sheet individually and adding the column manually, which is very time-consuming.
It would be extremely helpful to have a way to apply structural changes in bulk. For example:
- Select a folder or workspace and add a column to all sheets at once
- Choose column type (text, dropdown, symbol, etc.)
- Set placement of the column (e.g., after a specific column or at the end)
- Apply multiple new columns in a single action
In addition, it would be valuable to have a built-in way to view two sheets side by side within Smartsheet. When working across many sheets with similar structures, comparing two sheets at the same time is often necessary. Currently opening multiple sheets in different tabs or windows can lead to browser performance issues or crashes.
A native split-view or side-by-side sheet viewing option would make it much easier to compare sheets and manage large sheet sets efficiently.
