We are having trouble transferring ownership. I had a user transfer her ownership to me but it still shows her as being the owner on my end. When she goes to the smartsheet it shows me as the owner. Any suggestions would be helpful!
Hi Tomas,
Did you follow this guide?

Yes. We followed the steps for transferring ownership from the help center. I may try and have my customer transfer ownership to someone other than me to see if that works.
Have her log out and log back in.
Additionally, if it is only a sheet, it is easy to transfer.
Folders and Workspaces are not as simple. The new owner would need to create a new Workspace and Folder, then click and drag the sheet into the Workspace.
Or that is at least what worked for me.
As long as the person receiving ownership is set up with Admin Permissions, they can also "Save as New...". Essentially the same thing as click and drag, but with the added benefit of the other person also retaining their copy. I use this more often simply because (with folders and workspaces) it serves as a template. I can tweak and test new things in the template while the functioning sheet remains active, and if the new owner accidentally jacks things up REALLY bad, they can just "Save as New..." again. I will keep it for a while (how long depends on who is taking over and the complexity) as a back up like that, but once they have gone for some time without any issues, I'll go ahead and delete my copy.
Excellent!
Did you get it working?

The other user logged in again and performed the same steps and transferred ownership to me. It finally worked but don't know why it didn't work the other 5-6 times we tried it.
Thank you for your assistance with this. Have a great day!
Happy to help!
Strange that it didn't work before. Maybe a temporary glitch.
I recently upgraded to a paid Pro account. The day I upgraded I could access everything I had created. I created a new sheet and it put it in a new untitled workspace. When I went back to access my other (previously created) Workspace today, I get a message "An error has occurred in Smartsheet." I've logged out and logged…
This is what I would like to accomplish using Smartsheets but I am struggling to find the best way to go about it. Each year we get new vegetable varieties that we need to test in various locations at different times. I would like a tool that I can follow each variety up with a grower. The following data is added:…
Hi, I'm getting an error on a copy automation, please see below. The workflow runs a daily copy of task (TSK) rows from 1.1-TSK - Demo - Strategy - Main Tracker Sheet to the 2.1-TSK - Demo - Strategy - Main Data Sheet, if the Update Status of the row is "Reported". There are 3 sheets involved, and they are all linked using…
