I've never had trouble publishing a sheet, but when I publish a sheet today, It requries the colleague to sign in.  this is new.  I've tested other published sheets and they are still open without a log in.

You will need to change who has access to the published link. Smartsheet recently changed the default. Here's is some verbiage that I received last week...

.

"Hello,

We want to alert you to a change we made regarding the default access control setting when publishing a sheet, report, or dashboard.

Previously, the default selection for publishing was "Available to anyone with the link," a choice that was sometimes kept by users without knowing the option could potentially expose sensitive data if the link was shared outside of the sheet owner's account to unintended recipients.

To provide more safeguards, the default selection for publishing will be "Only available to users in the owner's account." With this selection, users will need to be part of the owner's account and logged in to access the published item."

.

Hope this helps.
