How can I prevent to copy data from a sheet to another file? I need share some sheet with editor privilege, but I have to prevent he to copy the data to another place. Thanks, since now.

If you give them editor rights, they can see everything and even make changes to it. The simple fact is that if they can access the sheet from within Smartsheets - they can copy the data.

Even if I delete the blank rows from the Sheet (which has hundreds of data rows), they reappear the next time I…
I need to setup automations based on a contract date that will notify me on a monthly/quarterly/annual basis so I can process paperwork at the appropriate time. Ideally, I'd like to set it up to send an email 90 days before that date. I have columns for the initial contract date and the frequency (one for the word…
Hi everyone, Is there a way to set a dashboard as the default homepage for all users upon login? Ideally, we’d like users to land directly on a particular dashboard instead of the usual default page. Is this possible through configuration, or is there a plugin or workaround that can help us achieve this? Thanks in advance!
