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!

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.

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!
I have a workspace that I created with two subfolders. A user needs to have access to only one of them but when I have that folder selected, I can only share the entire workspace with them. Is there a secret way that I can share the parent folder and ensure that any new files created will be shared with the same people? I…
I have a Pro plan but I cannot create ANY reports. The system does not allow me to choose a folder, and consequently a sheet to create a row report and suggests an upgrade to Business or Enterprise. I'm quite new to Smartsheet and feel a bit disappointed with this limitation, or maybe I'm just doing something wrong. Alberto
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…
