Is there a way to visually/graphically see changes to an activity "before and after" on the Gantt or calendar view? I.E. if an activity is running longer than original input is there a way to show the original end point and the added time?

Have you thought about duplicating each task to show the actual vs. planned? You could have a row for planned and a row for actual? The Gannt chart would display the rows beside each other to visually see the differences. You can also adjust the colors of the ACTUAL gannt rows to differ from the other ones.

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…
