April, 30, 2026
We've deprecated the VIEWER seat type and replaced it with CONTRIBUTOR (New) — and with it, internal users on your plan gain the ability to comment on sheets and add attachments at no extra cost. This means more people across your organization can actively participate in workflows instead of being limited to view-only access, helping teams gather input faster and keep work moving without switching to email or chat. Admins also benefit from a simpler seat model with fewer tiers to manage.
If you have API integrations that reference the VIEWER seat type, update them to use CONTRIBUTOR before the sunset date of October 30, 2026. During the deprecation period, include displayContributorSeatType=true in your API requests to start receiving the new seat type in responses.
