We've ran into some issues recently, with new employees creating workspaces and not sharing them correctly (either not sharing them when they need to be or giving incorrect permissions). Is there an option to set up auto-sharing for workspaces at an account level?

Hi Derek,
Unfortunately, there isn't a native way. It could maybe be possible thru the API.
I hope this helps you!

In my opinion, auto-sharing is probably a security issue (which I won't go into here), but I do have some tools for the SysAdmin that are geared toward such issues. I'll add this to my list.

Anyway we can make this view only for security purposes? We would like to prevent users from sending responses to other users by accident.
I am currently setting up an automation for people to get notified through their email, when they are prompted. But is there a way that they can reply in the email of a comment that will then go to the specific sheet. This way they do not have access to the sheet, but can just comment through email with updates?
Is there a way to revert to the old dashboard look and feel. The new dashboards do not look good at all. There is no way of knowing if there are additional items in the widgets until you scroll over one to learn there is more to it since the vertical bar doesn't show. We have hundreds of dashboards and they will all need…
