Set Highlight Changes "as of" date/time

The highlight changes feature is fantastic...however, it would be very nice if you could set an "as of" date/time. Β For example I created a SmartSheet today and sent it to my team for feedback...I can't use the highlight changes now because everything I did initially shows up as a change. Β If I could set a date/time as of my last edit, then antyhing contributed since I did my initial work would be highlighted. Β As I'm only using this for a couple of days at most...the highlight changes won't be of a lot of value. Β I can, of course do conditional formatting to achieve this, however I would like to see an enhancement to support this.

    There is the ability to highlight changes since a "Custom Date" that you enter. Β But it sounds like you need both date and a specific time as entering a custom date defaults to midnight.

    You could also try highlighting changes since "I last viewed this sheet". Β May not be ideal, but might help.

    Hello Chuck,Β

    As Terri mentioned you can set the Highlight Changes setting to highlight anything from a custom date, but there isn't a way to enter a specific time. I'll be sure to add your vote to enter a specific time in the Highlight Changes settings to our enhancement request list.Β

    As Terri mentioned, an alternitive that may work would be to select since I Last Viewed this Sheet.Β
