I'm new to the community. I'm sure this question has been asked many times before, but I cannot find a suitable answer: Is there a limit to the number of users that can be active / accessing a sheet at the same time?
Hi Kevin,
I'm not aware of any limitation on active users in a sheet.
Do you have a scenario when there are many users active at the same time?
I hope this helps you!
Have a fantastic week!
Best,

Thanks for the response. Good to hear that to your knowledge, there is no limit to the number of users that can simultaneously access a sheet.
I will be rolling out out a training soon, and I plan to have about 30 users on the same sheet at one time... hoping it actually works.
Happy to help!
I would recommend contacting the Smartsheet support team to make sure that it will work.

Good luck with the rollout and please report back what the support team says and how it went.

There isn’t a limitation on the number of users who can collaborate on a sheet simultaneously —I saw 300+ users on a sheet once before. If you have a scenario where a lot users will be accessing a sheet at once, I’d recommend sharing the sheet with Editor permission, and above, only to users who will need to edit sheet data, and assigning Viewer permissions to everyone else.
Also, as a best practice, I’d suggest encouraging your collaborators to save and refresh often. If frequent changes are being made on the sheet, see here: https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/522069-working-with-multiple-collaborators
I hope this helps!
@Paul Newcome , Hope you are well. Question for you, meant to ask quite some time ago but forgot. You had shared this right after Engage 2025. I'm unfamiliar with the view and how to create it. Can you tell me about this view?
I am trying to change owner on a Smartsheet sheet to the owner of the workspace it is located in. I keep getting an error message stating the permissions need to be managed at the workspace level. I am unable to change owner for the sheet at the workspace level. Not sure how to accomplish this change. HELP!
I would like to add two dynamic filters as a widget within my Dashboard to define a date range (start and end date) which would then return a count value to that same Dashboard. I have been searching for answers but am not coming up with the solution I'm looking for. What is the cleanest way to configure this?
