Hidden Column Data Viewable in Export

Hello,

I have a table where I hid Column C that has confidential information. Viewers and Editors cannot Unhide the columns of Confidential Information. This is amazing.

Consider sending scheduled update requests to the editors instead of sharing. You can configure the columns to be seen and there will be no export option.

Greetings

I'm quite new to Smartsheet and feel a bit disappointed with this limitation, or maybe I'm just doing something wrong. Alberto
Showing "stacked" data / Statuses of items by swimlane
I have multiple items that each have their own statuses and that roll up to "workstreams" or swimlanes. On the dashboard, I would like to show the progress of the items by swimlane without breaking it out into separate widgets for each. This would ideally be a stacked bar where each bar represented the Items and was broken…
